The RI Department of Transportation sought to improve marine transportation facilities to link with the Gateway Center in Newport, RI. Pare Corporation, as part of a multi-firm engineering team, was responsible for all waterside planning, design, and cost estimating. Pare developed conceptual plans for marine terminals at seven sites, including several alternative layouts at each site. Pare then performed preliminary engineering and cost estimating for each site. Pare also provided consultation to the team for navigational issues, ship characteristics and maneuverability, approach channel and berth dimensions, dredging issues, and coastal permit processes.
Pare provided final design for all waterside improvements at the Long Wharf and Fort Adams Terminals, including new seawalls and riprap, bulkhead rehabilitation, new piers and wave attenuators, and floating dock systems for harbor taxis and a high-speed commuter ferry. Pare also designed improvements at one existing pier to accommodate an offshore ferry and handicap-accessible fishing; prepared and made presentations at several public meetings and hearings; and provided geotechnical, structural, and waterfront-related consultation to RIDOT during construction.
“Construction administration services were accurate and timely, and the team was very responsive to the problems inherent in balancing the aggressive project schedules while allowing the facility to operate daily.”
“The Town of Wrentham couldn’t be more pleased with the work your team has done on every level. Not only did your team accomplish everything that was required, but you did so with an extremely high level of professionalism and communication with the Town. We would not hesitate to hire Pare Corporation for future work for the Town.”
“Our company has retained a number of environmental consultants but when we have a project with difficult or complex environmental issues, we turn to Pare. Pare’s knowledge of the wetland laws and their ability to convey information to regulators is unmatched.”
“I cannot overstate the complexity of this project; it had every challenge known in trail design/construction. Pare’s experience in trail design and ability to work well with people enabled the project to stay on track to construction. Our project manager, Amy Archer PE, was excellent. She was able to communicate and manage expectations of officials and residents but also DEP, MBTA, and DCR. Information was clearly and concisely presented no matter who the audience was. Her management style and technical expertise allowed decisions to be made and everyone to advance forward together.”
