Client: Port of Centralia, Lewis
County, WA.
Project Specifications: A series
of master planned and small
project commercial and industrial
developments on land owned
by the Port of Centralia. Projects include:
- Northpark Industrial
Park. A 33-acre project,
this site was the Port’s first
full scale industrial
development project. Hatton Godat Pantier
provided master planning, engineering
and design services, as well as all project
management for the development’s
infrastructure.
- Southpark Industrial
Park. A 106-acre light industrial
and commercial business park, including
road construction, utilities and service
lines. Hatton Godat Pantier provided
design, engineering and project management
services.
- North County Industrial Park. A heavy industry
park, including new roads, storm drainage, bioretention swales, railroad crossings, power
supply and street lighting. Hatton Godat Pantier provided project management, design services
and surveying.
Key Challenge: As publicly funded projects, the Port of Centralia’s development
plans involved special contracting procedures and specific formats for proposals and paperwork.
These special state and federal regulations require expertise on the part of engineers,
designers and projects managers, an area in which Hatton Godat Pantier brings a wealth of
experience and skill.
The Point of Difference: “Even with a publicly funded development, at the
end of the day, the goals are the same,” says Steve Hatton. “The project needs
to be developed with all the nuance and detail of any private development, and that’s
where we feel we can contribute something special, even to the public sector.”
