EBDG-Designed Project Honored by ACEC
The replacement of three historic river ferries along the Missouri River in Montana has been recognized by the Montana chapter of the American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC). The Missouri River Ferry Rehabilitation Project won an Honor Award at the Montana chapter’s annual engineering competition. The vessels were designed by Seattle’s Elliott Bay Design Group (EBDG) and Helena, Montana-based Morrison-Maierle, Inc. The Montana Department of Transportation-owned project involved the design and construction of three replacement ferry boats and their cable drive systems, as well as new terminal structures and site improvements. EBDG developed the vessel hull design, propulsion system, electrical/mechanical systems and safety features on the ferries. Morrison-Maierle, Inc.
