This new Fireboat Station includes a 20,000-sq-ft fire station building, 11,200-sq-ft covered fireboat bay enclosure, geotechnical improvements, site utilities, stand-by generator, fire pump enclosure, stormwater BMP, landscape, fencing and hardscape improvements. The project exceeded the Port of Long Beach’s sustainability goals by achieving USGBC LEED Gold Certification when LEED Silver was the actual contractual requirement.
Built to provide a life cycle of more than 50 years in a marine environment, the fireboat station supports the tremendous growth experienced at the Port of Long Beach, the second busiest container port in the United States. Because of the Port’s size and importance, it was critical to have a state-of-the-art first-responder facility to ensure the safety of the workers and minimize any downtime to operations.
