Located in the heart of San Francisco’s Central Waterfront, this disused ship-building facility behind one of the largest dry-docks in the western seaboard will create a much-needed neighborhood park, while accommodating sea level rise and ground contamination issues.

The Port of San Francisco has retained a team of consultants led by AECOM to complete a Park Master Plan and Schematic Design for Initial Park Improvements for Crane Cove Park, a 8+ acre waterfront open space within the historic Pier 70 district in San Francisco, California. The site possesses a rich maritime, industrial and cultural heritage, it has a privileged location for accessing and viewing the bay and the monumental operations of the adjacent shipyard, and it is the largest continuous open space in the Pier 70 historic district.

The design will capitalize on the historic cranes potential to function as visual icons both from land and water and integrate the “theatre” of shipyard operations into the visual amenities of the park. All while anticipating sea level rise and managing the environmental constraints of the site. AECOM is working with a multidisciplinary team of engineers (environmental, coastal, civil, geotechnical, structural, electrical and mechanical) as well as historic preservation architects and cost estimators.At the heart of San Francisco’s Central Waterfront Rejuvenation

AECOM Hunt’s work at the United States Tennis Association’s Billie Jean King National Tennis Center encompasses Arthur Ashe Stadium’s retractable roof, Grandstand Stadium, the south campus redevelopment, and Louis Armstrong Stadium.

The first phase of construction began in fall 2013, when AECOM Hunt was selected to serve as design-builder for the octagonal, 236,000 square foot, 6,500-ton retractable roof over Arthur Ashe Stadium. Originally built in 1997, Arthur Ashe Stadium holds the most important matches of the U.S. Open, but for many years players and spectators faced rained-out events, so the USTA decided to build a retractable roof.

The roof’s 250’ x 250’ retractable opening is the largest in the tennis world, constructed from 1,700 individual pieces and covered with lightweight and durable Teflon-coated fiberglass membrane fabric (PTFE). The roof is suspended independently from a framework of eight super columns driven 180 feet into the ground to reach bedrock.

At the same time, AECOM Hunt was working on the new 8,000-seat Grandstand Stadium and redevelopment of the Center’s south campus. Grandstand Stadium was constructed in the southwest corner of the site in order to improve overall fan circulation. The south campus tournament courts were redeveloped to accommodate heavy traffic flow. To facilitate this open feeling, ten courts were demolished and rebuilt. This work and Arthur Ashe’s roof were unveiled during the 2016 U.S. Open.

OUR HISTORY

AECOM launched when a handful of employees from design and engineering companies shared a dream of creating an industry-leading firm dedicated to delivering a better world.

We became an independent company formed by the merger of five entities. While our official founding was in 1990, many of our predecessor firms had distinguished histories dating back more than 120 years.

Since then, more than 50 companies have joined us and, in 2007, we became a publicly traded company on the New York Stock Exchange.

At AECOM, we believe infrastructure creates opportunity for everyone – uplifting communities, improving access and sustaining our planet.

We’re committed to managing our business with the upmost responsibility and to always strive for better — be that reducing emissions, creating social value or diversifying our senior leadership and workforce.

We understand both the urgency of the challenges facing our society and our responsibility to act in an impactful and enduring way. We’re leading the change towards a more sustainable and equitable future, partnering with those who want to make a positive difference in the world.

We’re listening to clients and the communities we serve in order to improve lives and livelihoods, and to create sustainable legacies for generations to come.

Thinking without limits is what keeps us at the vanguard. Ideas have no borders, and this ethos is embedded in our culture. The full scope of our global expertise is available to anyone who needs it, wherever they are based.

We’re trusted advisors — planners, designers, engineers, consultants and program and construction managers — delivering professional services spanning cities, transportation, buildings, water, new energy, and the environment. Working throughout the project lifecycle, we’re one team driven by a common purpose to deliver a better world.
