Port Gamble S’klallam Tribe Hatchery and Beach Shelter

The Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribe sought to enhance their existing salmon hatchery facility and add beach shelters at the Point Julia beachfront on the Port Gamble Bay. The project included demolishing an old office building and constructing a new two-story, 1,800-square-foot hatchery building at the same site. The new structure includes a lower level for the hatchery as well as a garage, maintenance shop, and egg-incubation room. The upper level provides space for offices, and the new water quality monitoring and filtration systems. The monitoring and filtration systems provide cleaner water for the hatchery, which is expected to improve egg hatching rates. As mentioned previously, the project included the design of two new open-air beach shelters with public restrooms adjacent to the hatchery for community gatherings.

Cannon provided a schematic level exhibit illustrating building footings and siting, conceptual design phase stormwater management and drainage considerations, and a complete civil permit and construction document set, including project specifications, and a drainage report. Cannon also reviewed contractor bids and provided feedback based on the civil construction documents and specifications. During the construction phase, Cannon provided construction administration support for the contractor submittal review and RFI responses, incorporating in the contractor’s as-built markups into record drawing plans.
