Port Imperial Ferry Terminal

McLaren provided all marine, structural, foundation, and accessibility design services for this facility, which includes a three-level, 38,000-square foot terminal building, four ferry slips on two floating platforms, and intermodal interface with the Hudson-Bergen light rail transit system. Ramps and access will be compliant with the 1999 regulations for accessibility by the American Disabilities Act (ADA). This magnificent structure includes a fabric roof lantern, 39-foot-high curtain walls, balconies, and public access throughout. The building platform will be a pre-cast concrete slab supported by pre-cast beams, pile caps and steel piles. The 120-ton H-piles will be driven to bedrock, approximately 80 feet below NGVD.
