KPFF Consulting Engineers’ Post

🐾 Happy National Dog Day from KPFF! 🐾 We couldn’t resist celebrating our loyal, four-legged friends who bring joy to our lives, whether they’re joining us on-site or inspiring us as we design our next big project. Here’s to our furry companions who make every day a little brighter!   #NationalDogDay #KPFFCelebrates

KPFF Consulting Engineers is proud to have contributed to the transformation of the PDX Terminal, now officially open and setting new standards in airport design! The PDX Terminal project showcases a blend of architectural beauty and engineering excellence. The signature wooden roof, crafted from locally-sourced timber, stands as an architectural masterpiece and an engineering feat, supporting expansive spans that enhance both aesthetics and energy efficiency. This design not only embodies the spirit of the Pacific Northwest but also integrates advanced seismic resilience, ensuring safety in an earthquake-prone region while maintaining the terminal’s open, airy atmosphere. Additionally, the project emphasizes sustainability through energy-efficient systems and the use of sustainable materials, aligning with PDX's commitment to environmental stewardship and making the terminal as green as it is grand. We are honored to have played a role in this iconic project. Check out the images below to see the results of this incredible collaboration.

The KPFF Bridge and Transportation groups recently celebrated the grand opening of a new signature pedestrian and bicycle bridge over NE 8th Street immediately adjacent to Sound Transit’s Wilburton light rail station on the 2 Line. The $32 million bridge lets multimodal travelers bypass one of Bellevue’s most dangerous streets and unlocks the next trail segment of the EasTrail Corridor multi-use trail. More than just a functional connection, the bridge commemorates the area’s Japanese American heritage, expressed by its distinctive metal cladding, art, and poetry installations.

Happy National Intern Day! This summer KPFF welcomes 110+ interns across 20 office locations and trust us, we love our interns!!! 2024 Seattle Structural interns did a site walk on the 30th floor of a tower, looking at post-tensioned concrete reinforcing and caught great views of the city! The apartment building will be a distinctive addition to the Belltown neighborhood. Head over to our Instagram account to get a glimpse of what some of our other KPFF interns are up to. https://lnkd.in/gZr2XDVn #NationalInternDay #joinus #internshipopportunities #kpffinc #summerinternships
