ATTACf-QdENT 1 PROPOSED PROJECT - EVERETT MODULE FABRICATION SITE DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED ACTIVITY, PURPOSE AND U�E Project General Information - Parsons is one of the major engineering and construction companies. T.�e Company was founded in 1944, and today employs a profe:,sional staff of nearly 10,000 thr�ughout the world. We are primarily involved in major industrial projects related to petroleum and chemical, mining and metallurgical, and architec*.ural projects dealing with airports, ports, harbors, and marine facilities. Pa-sons is a major contributor to •_;:e modular type of construction necessir.ated by the alien environment o£ the north coast of Alaska. We initially started developing modules in 1972 for shipment to Prudhoe Bay and have actively engeged in this type of work since then. , Over a period of years we have refined the module engineering and assembl.y efforts, and a natural outgrowth of this refinement has been increased size and weights, which allow for more complete units to be shipped, thiis increasing the amount of work executed at the module fabrication sites. The project being proposed for Everett is a major expansion to our on-goirg module assembly efforts. The project activity will be similar to the module fabrication which has been occurring for the past several years at a Port of Tacoma site and at Anacortes. Site Construction - The project involves constructi�n of two dead-load barge slips (total basin area 450'1 x 260'w x 20' deep) with gravel fill and concrete access deck in the soutt:- west corner oi a 60-acre site known as the Norton Avenue Terminal, Port of Everett, Snohomish County, tVashingtor.. The basin is to be located adjacent to the ex.'sting concrete container-loading pier on this site. Each slip wi:l accor.unodate a 100' x 4C0' x 20' ocean-going barge which will be floated in, ballasted onto the bottom to provi3e a firm base for loading large pre-fabricated buiiding modules. The modules (some weighing 2,000 tons and with typical dimensions of SG' x 150', with a maximum height 85') are to be assembled at the Norton Terminal site and then transported to Prudhoe Bay, Alaska where the modules ��ill be interconnected and assembled as a ga� conditioning facility. btodular Construction blethods - Prefabricated materiais, including structural steel, piping, v�•ssels, pump�, motors and elec�trical equipment will be received at the assembly site. Tnese items will be shipped in by rail, road and sea, and assembled at the jobsite. -1 -
