ACM ENGINEERING SELECTED TO DESIGN FUELING DOCK FOR THE
PORT OF ANACORTES,
WA (released
4/08)
ACM Engineering (ACME), a rapidly-growing Central Oregon civil
engineering firm has recently been selected to design a fueling dock for the Port
of Anacortes, Washington
Principal Engineer and owner George
Franklet, PE says the project developer had experienced some trouble finding a civil engineer experienced in Underground Storage
Tank (UST) design. The developer had heard about ACM Engineering from a colleague who worked with ACM Engineering team members
in the past and also owns property in Redmond, Oregon. “The developer visited our website and contacted us after reviewing our team’s
past experience with both UST project as well as projects located in Washington
State.” George says, “It goes to show that you never can
tell what effect your website can have in helping long distance clients make decisions.”
The project involves the
design of two 15,000 gallon USTs for a marine fueling dock at the Port
of Anacortes which is approximately 2 hours North of Seattle, Washington.
Franklet, who is a registered
professional civil engineer in Washington and Oregon and has a masters degree in Environmental Engineering, says “We
are encouraged that this project will prompt Central Oregon developers who are in need of civil designs for fueling stations
or other UST storage facilities to contact ACM Engineering.”
