Brief Summary of Job
Meydenbauer Waterfront - Concrete
One of the largest projects I worked on at Bellingham Marine Industries (BMI) was a floating concrete boardwalk for the city of Bellevue. My role in this job was to convert the architect’s drawings into SolidWorks models, work with engineers and manufacturing to verify it’s structurally sounds, and produce drawings for each type of float.
The architecture drawings were very vague, they would only have the overall dimensions and it was up to our team of engineers to make it float. To get this project started, I modeled all of the different types of floats and assembled them. Then I looked into the weight distribution to calculate if the boardwalk is floating flat and high enough off the water. To make these changes I would either add more air tubs under the dock or add more concrete within the float.
Once I had a model would float level, I looked at the concrete wall thickness to verify it’s thick enough to support the required rebar and tension cables.

I was tasked to design this wood dock for a marketing purpose. Every board, aluminum bracket, and bolts are included. They requested another employee to finish the rendering and coloring of it.
