ABSTRACT
The San Francisco Fire Department acquired a new floating fire station at Pier 22½ for their fireboat fleet. The station is built on a 9 ft × 95 ft × 173 ft (2.7 m × 29 m × 53 m) steel float that is moored with four 60 in. (1.52 m) diameter steel piles. A new pile-supported steel pier structure connects to the float via a steel access ramp. The floating station design is unique, having a steel float with an attached building that houses personnel at the station full time, accommodating sea-level rise, and designed as an essential facility with a 50-year design life. Even though this project was unusual, many of the items to consider and lessons learned can be applied to improve designs on more typical projects, such as ferry terminals. This paper will discuss some of those items.
