KPFF Special Projects launched a specialized dive team in May 2023, led by Ian Frank, P.E., S.E, an associate in the Tacoma office. This team focuses on providing inspection and survey services for various sites, including ports, industrial, transportation, and recreational areas, by inspecting docks, wharves, and piers. Each dive operation involves a well-planned, methodical process with a data taker on the boat, a boat handler, and two divers in the water. The divers methodically inspect the piles of the structure, reporting their findings back to the data taker on the boat. This process requires extensive training to accurately identify issues on the piles. Throughout the dive, underwater and above-water photos are taken to document any damage. Afterward, the engineers collaborate with the divers to compile a detailed final report for the client. We are excited to offer this service to our clients! #KPFFSpecialProjects #KPFFDives #EngineeringExcellence

KPFF Consulting Engineers is proud to have contributed to the transformation of the PDX Terminal, now officially open and setting new standards in airport design! The PDX Terminal project showcases a blend of architectural beauty and engineering excellence. The signature wooden roof, crafted from locally-sourced timber, stands as an architectural masterpiece and an engineering feat, supporting expansive spans that enhance both aesthetics and energy efficiency. This design not only embodies the spirit of the Pacific Northwest but also integrates advanced seismic resilience, ensuring safety in an earthquake-prone region while maintaining the terminal’s open, airy atmosphere. Additionally, the project emphasizes sustainability through energy-efficient systems and the use of sustainable materials, aligning with PDX's commitment to environmental stewardship and making the terminal as green as it is grand. We are honored to have played a role in this iconic project. Check out the images below to see the results of this incredible collaboration.

The KPFF Bridge and Transportation groups recently celebrated the grand opening of a new signature pedestrian and bicycle bridge over NE 8th Street immediately adjacent to Sound Transit’s Wilburton light rail station on the 2 Line. The $32 million bridge lets multimodal travelers bypass one of Bellevue’s most dangerous streets and unlocks the next trail segment of the EasTrail Corridor multi-use trail. More than just a functional connection, the bridge commemorates the area’s Japanese American heritage, expressed by its distinctive metal cladding, art, and poetry installations.

Less than 3 weeks to go and we couldn't be more excited!
Get ready! Phase 1 of Portland International Airport is opening on August 14th, 2024. The massive 9-acre redevelopment utilizes #masstimber in an unprecedented application. Totaling 3.5 million board feet, the roof is comprised of 80-foot-long glulam beams and 35,000 pieces of intricately fabricated lattice. This project team worked closely with regional suppliers across 10 forests to promote local economic development and sustainable forestry practices. Live trees and flora intertwined with beautiful wood textures create a deep, immersive connection to nature. The intent is to let visitors feel as if they are walking through the iconic forests of the Pacific Northwest. Timberlab provided procurement strategy, custom fabrication, and mass timber installation expertise.
