Port of Longview Mechanic’s Shop
Livermore Architecture & Engineering (LAE) developed a design for a complex, multi-phase replacement of the existing mechanics shop at the Port of Longview. The Port services most of their vehicles and heavy equipment at the shop, from small trucks to forklifts, log loaders, and construction vehicles.
LAE developed two feasibility studies for the Port to evaluate the functionality and cost of relocating the shop to an existing warehouse building or to construct a new building for the shop. The feasibility studies reviewed in detail the code requirements, program elements, utility considerations, and costs associated with each option. We also generated concept designs for each option.
The team developed 30% design drawings for the first phase of the new building option. The first phase includes work bays with pits and lifts, a wash bay, parts storage, fabrication rooms, employee break rooms and toilet rooms, and a mezzanine. Bridge cranes are included to lift heavy parts and equipment.
