Vortex constructed a modern cruise terminal to meet evolved security and passenger demands while allowing for the terminal to serve as a special event space when not used for cruise purposes. This included demolition and repairs of concrete slab, piles, and beams; furnishing and installation of concrete piles; construction of concrete ramps and Embarcadero grey concrete deck; and installation of bollards and fenders.

This project required that a new 1280 foot concrete breakwater be constructed to protect the Emeryville Harbor and Marina due to the severe degradation of the existing timber structure.

For this project, Vortex had to replace the timber wave panel breakwater with precast concrete panels and steel H-pile breakwater wall around the Coast Guard small boat harbor and haul-out facility.
