PND designs Trinidad dock

PND, Inc. provided design for the award-winning Labidco dock extension project in Trinidad. Trinidad and Tobago Contractors Association recently gave Carillion, Ltd. the top 2004 civil engineering award for the dock.

The dock incorporated an "open cell" structure that allows heavier loading at a significantly lower cost than the previously proposed design. The project involved design and construction of a 400-meter-long dock at the Industrial Estate La Brea in Trinidad.

BC&J's Anna Gunter joins historic board

Anna Gunter, project architect for BC&J Architecture, Planning and Construction Management, has been appointed to the Friday Harbor's Historic Preservation Review Board.

Staffing BC&J's Friday Harbor office on San Juan Island, Gunter has worked closely with the preservation board for the past four years on a number of projects, most notably the Friday Harbor Center.

The Friday Harbor Center, designed by BC&J principal Peter Brachvogel, replaced a burned block in the center of downtown Friday Harbor.

The property owner, Brachvogel and Gunter consulted with historic board members during the construction of a new building for the site.

The goal of all involved was a building that would mesh with the existing downtown structures, and in turn, visually as well as physically knit the downtown core together.

It was this interaction with the board that Gunter said led to her nomination to the board.
