The Client:
Howland Hook Marine Terminal has a growing container facility in the Port of New
York and New Jersey. It is located in the northwest corner of the Borough of Staten
Island in New York City. With 124 additional acres purchased in 2001 added to
the original 187 acre site, the facility is growing. The Port Authority at Howland
Hook needed additional administrative space that included offices, breakroom,
and locker facilities for its employees. M Space Holdings, LLC was chosen to
provide the permanent modular building to meet their needs.
The Solution:
A non-combustible 5,760 square foot building was designed and engineered to
meet the strict NYC building codes, as well as withstand the rigors of use in one of
our nation's busiest seaports. The exterior of the facility was designed to match
the current PANYNJ color and aesthetic themes. The exterior siding was a 5/6"
Hardi-Panel stucco siding installed with no visible fasteners and is accented by an
exposed CMU block foundation wall which acts as both the foundation and the
skirt wall.
The exterior surface features a .040 aluminum vertical crimp mansard
with the matching soffit which provides a concealed roof line and gutter system.
Two 72" x 84" safety glazed glass store front doors with two 22" x 84" sidelines
are accessed through recessed vestibules and concrete decks, ramps, and stairs.Five gas fired RTU's in lieu of wall mounted units also increase the permanent look
of this facility. The interior features administrative space, break room with a kitchenette,
as well as fully equipped men's and women's locker rooms with showers,
lockers, benches and ceramic tile.
Technical Innovation:
The facilities flooring was created using _" Hardi Backer over 2" steel edged T &
G "Creteplank" system. The flooring in the exterior vestibules was achieved with
lightweight concrete poured in the factory. The need for a 10 year roof warranty
was achieved by utilizing a PVC FM-1-90 Class A 1 PC membrane system which
was installed in the factory and seamed on site by the same vendor in order to
certify warranty.
Cost Effectiveness/Energy Efficiency:
This facility was crane set atop a permanent foundation in one day and made
weather tight within 24 hours. The HVAC system consists of a variety of systems
including five three-phase packaged gas units. Galvanized steel ductwork was
installed throughout. Hot water was delivered through an eighty-one gallon high
recovery gas water heater.
