Services Provided
Seattle Iron & Metals (SIM) is the most current state-of-the-art metal recycler in the United States. SeaCon was retained by SIM to assist in the relocation negotiations with the Port of Seattle and as the Construction Manager/General Contractor. The $30 million project’s fast track schedule (6 months) required that ten buildings be constructed simultaneously on a confined site. Soil conditions necessitated not only the removal and treatment of over $1 million in contaminated fill, but also the installation of 1100 stone pile columns through an in-siteu soil modification process to prevent structural damage resulting from liquefaction in case of earthquake. Environmental concerns required that all surface water runoff from the site be collected and run through a special wastewater treatment facility that was designed and constructed specifically for the SIM location. This project required intense project coordination, site planning, and construction management to meet the extremely short construction schedule. This project was completed per the schedule (July 1998) and there were no claims.
