Pike Place Market Renovation

Historic Pike Place Market Renovation

Pike Place Market is one of the top tourist destinations in Seattle, averaging ten-million visitors annually. In addition to the visitors, the market is home to hundreds of shops and stalls varying in size, as well as over 500 residents spread across 8 buildings. A major element of the preconstruction phase was pre-planning our work for the least amount of impact to vendors, residents, and tourists alike. The Market remained fully operational throughout the duration of the project. The focus of the renovation work was centered on replacing the aging core infrastructure including all mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems, which had reached the end of their useful lives. Along with replacing miles of sanitary lines, our team installed a new 4-pipe system that serves each of the 8-buildings that make up the market. A new central plant and electrical vault and associated main switch gear were also installed, which feeds over 800 new tenant panels throughout the project.
