A large industrial ship-to-shore crane and a ship, likely at a port, with a person standing nearby for scale.

Port of Toledo Shipyard

Project Details: This new building is being constructed to provide enclosed work space at the shipyard.  The building will be approximately 80’ x 150’ and about 90 feet tall, with a 70’ x 70’ “Megadoor” to provide access for our 660 ton vessel lift.  This building will allow us to provide year-round work on vessels and provide a contained area for maintenance of vessels, sandblasting, and painting.  We are enthusiastic about the increased efficiency we will be able to provide our customers without impact from our unpredictable Oregon weather.  

Project status: ​ A Nucor pre-engineered metal building has been purchased through contractor JH Kelly, LLC and has been delivered to the building site.  Design and engineering of the foundation was completed by Sargent Engineers.  The building foundation is supported by 99 steel pile, installation completed in August 2019 by Billeter Marine.

The contract for construction of the concrete foundation and erection of the building has been awarded to contractor JH Kelly.   Foundation work will start in January 2020. 

This project is funded through a ConnectOregon VI grant and Business Oregon Infrastructure Finance Authority.
