Just a brief of the project, a general cargo dock was asked to be designed. The location of the dock is between river miles of 138 & 139 of the Mississippi River, located in St. John the Baptist Parish in Reserve, Louisiana. The dock is designed for a Panamax ship with 65,000 dead weight tons and a general cargo design load of 1000 psf. It is also designed for HS20-44 truck loading, which refers to handling a semi-truck and trailer with 3 to 4 axles.3Alternative Design & Selection

Two designs were considered in the design process of this project; the L-Shaped and T-Head platform docks. The main difference between these two docks is the location of the roadway on the dock. The L-Shaped docks roadway is located at the corner end of the dock, making the entrance and exits of the dock difficult. Whereas the roadway for the T-Head is located in the center of the dock, making the entrance and exits of the dock a lot easier. The L-Shaped docks primary function is for grain transportation with the use of conveyers, whereas the T-Head dock is used for general cargo. Since the project calls for a general cargo dock, the T-Head platform dock was chosen.4PermitsGovernment Agencies US Army Corps of EngineersLevee BoardUS Coast GuardRiverboat PilotsLADOTDSt. John the Baptist Parish

Before construction can begin , we need to obtain the proper permits and letters of no objection from the proper government agencies which are listed on the slide.5

This form is the ENG4345, it is found on the Army corps of engineers website. It comes with instructions that will tell you how to fill it out. If a person were to have any problems they can also call the corps and they will walk you through the process.6PermitsProcessEfficient methodThorough methodLetters of no objectionTime Six eight months

There are two processes to getting the permits. The efficient method and the thorough method. The thorough method involves finding the permit applications for each individual agency, filling it out, and submitting it with copies of the drawings. This method is time consuming and should be avoided. The efficient method is to fill out the ENG4345 form from the corps, and submit that to all government agencies, with the copies of the drawings. Once all the agencies have reviewed the plans and the applications they will issue the permits. The way it works is that once the levee board and the LADOTD approve of the project, they send letters of no objection to the corps. After the corps receives both letters of no objection, they will issue a permit to the company. This process needs to be started as soon as the plans are complete because it can take from six-eight months.7Elevated Roadway StructurePermitsLADOTD Project PermitCrossing LADOTD Right of Way

Another permit we will need is the LADOTD project permit for constructing a bridge over LA 44, or river road. The is a different permit application and it can be found on the DOTD website. It is complete with directions and if any problems do arise, you can call them and their staff will help you.8LADOTD Project Permit

Suggestions of the public

Public Participation

The public will also participate in this project. The plans will be presented at the St. John the Baptist Parish Planning commission meeting, and the public will be given a chance to comment or ask questions. Once construction begins our engineers will be present at every Planning commission meeting in order to inform the public of any changes as well as the progress of the construction.10Safety is part of the design process

OSHA Where do their regulations come from?

OSHA Structural requirements

OSHA Safety equipment and actions

The power of OSHAHealth and Safety

Since an engineers 1 job is to ensure public safety, the safety of the employees is taken into account during the design of the project. OSHA is the government agency that ensures the safety of all workers. All of their regulations come from previous accidents on a job site. Thus their laws are written form blood and are strictly enforced. Structurally you need to have a rail on all structures above the water. But if it is a cargo dock you dont need it . You also need first aid kits and trained personnel on the job site at all times. If these orders are not followed, the project will be shut down.11Construction ScheduleGeneral Cargo DockActivity IDActivity DescriptionEarly StartEarly Finish10 Permits23-Mar-091-Jun-0920 Engineering23-Mar-0927-Jun-0930 Bid & Award Contract for28-Jun-0918-Aug-0940 Procurement: Piles Etc.19-Aug-0914-Sep-0950 Yard Work Fabrication7-Sep-099-Nov-0960 Mobilize Land Work7-Sep-0918-Sep-0970 Levee Crossing and Abutment21-Sep-0923-Oct-0980 Drive Land Piles21-Sep-0923-Oct-0990 Install Roadway Bents26-Oct-096-Nov-09100 Install Roadway Spans with Deck2-Nov-094-Dec-09110 Set Walkway Spans4-Jan-1015-Jan-10120 Mobilize River Work2-Nov-0918-Nov-09130 Drive Marine Piles19-Nov-0920-Jan-10140 Install Marine Platforms4-Jan-101-Mar-10150 Pour Concrete Deck on Platform2-Mar-1015-Mar-10160 Construct Dolphins7-Dec-0930-Dec-09170 Install Fender System2-Mar-1013-Apr-10180 De-Mobilize14-Apr-1030-Apr-10

The schedule is a vital part of the construction process and is intended to provide an efficient estimate of the duration of time of each individual step of the construction process. It is critical that each step stay on task and is completed in the order that the schedule provides. Here is our construction schedule for the general cargo dock. As you can see it will take approximately 13 months to complete.12Construction Schedule

The Process was started with the roadway bridge. The Individual components shown for the bridge were broken down into their sub-components and the unit quantities were determined. For example, for the abutment it was found that there was approximately 39.15 cubic yards of concrete, 66.67 cubic yards of compacted fill, and 225 linear feet of piles. These quantities were then multiplied by the unit price for both material as well as labor in order to attain the total estimated material and labor cost for that component. These two cost were then added to determine the total cost for the abutment.These blue values are highlighted in order to point out that only they will be plugged directly into another spreadsheet that will be seen in a min. In other words, this sheet was used in order to attain these total costs, and these total cost are then plugged into the final sheet rather than all of the other calculated values.Each of these components were calculated entirely by hand, and can be seen in the appendix portion of the appendix, with the exception of the roadway deck. Because of the repetitive but still varying nature of the spans (what I mean by that is unlike the bents which were nearly all the same, there were 6 different types of spans), we determined that a quicker way to approach this was with the use of Microsoft Excel. 16Cost Estimation: T-Head PlatformDESCRIPTIONQUANTITYUNITUNIT PRICETOTAL ESTIMATED MATERIAL COSTUNIT PRICETOTAL ESTIMATED LABOR COSTTOTALPlatform Deck & Framing:Timber Curb456LF$25.00$11,400.00$25.00$11,400.00$22,800.00Bollards4Each$2,500.00$10,000.00$500.00$2,000.00$12,000.00Cast-in-place Conc.

This is the portion of the cost estimate where the rest of the unit quantities and total cost (without the additional expenses) were calculated. As you can see, the highlighted data from the roadway bridge spreadsheet has been inserted directly (already calculated) into this sheet. Most of this was done the same way as with the roadway with the exception of the dolphins, walkway bents and walkway spans. We were given a lump sum price for these items. The green highlighted values seen here at the bottom represent the project material, labor, and total cost, but this total cost is not the total price of the project.17Cost Estimation: Additional ExpensesDESCRIPTIONQUANTITYUNITTOTAL ESTIMATED MATERIAL COSTTOTAL ESTIMATED LABOR COSTTOTALSUBTOTAL$3,212,109.65$2,667,540.25$5,879,649.90Home Office Overhead (15% x Total Labor)$400,131.04Payroll Taxes, Ins, FICA, FUI, SUI, Gen Liability, Longshoreman Ins(80% x Total Labor)$2,134,032.20Indirects(15% x Total Material)$481,816.45Sales Tax(8% x Total Material)$256,968.77Mobilization $ De-Mobilization(Lump Sum = $100000)$100,000.00GRAND TOTAL =$9,252,598.36

In order to get the total project price, these values were used in the calculation of the additional expenses. For example, the home office overhead was estimated as 15% of the Total labor costext. Finally, these values on the right hand side hear can be summed up in order to arrive at the Grand Total cost. From this cost estimate procedure, we determined that the projects entire cost was around $9.25 Million.18PlansProposed General Arrangement
