Colie & Associates was selected by Royal Caribbean International to perform renova- tions to Song of America beginning November 2, 1997 in New York. In the past, the company has performed many fabrication and renovation projects to Song of America's interiors. In the casino, James P. Colie & Associates will construct a workshop for the ship's slot machine technician using A-60 bulkheads. This is just one aspect of a host of cosmetic and structur- al refurbishments. Approximately 25 workers from James P. Colie & Associates will sail on Song of America from New York to Norshipco in Norfolk, Virginia for the 15-day drydock. The ship will be back at the Port of Miami and ready for service on November 16, 1997. Rich Beers Marine Awarded Contract Rich Beers Marine was awarded a contract from Undersea Research and the University of Wilmington to design and build the environmental systems for an underwater habitat. The scientific underwater habitat, designed for six people to live in for 10 days, will be moored off Key Largo in 90 ft. (27.43 m) of water in early 1998 and will provide air conditioning, dehumidification, C02 scrubber and refrigeration. Harbor Branch of Ft. Pierce also contracted Rich Beers Marine to design and build air conditioning and dehumidifica- tion systems for the power and air support buoy for the habitat. Han-Padron Chosen To Head Design Team The Israel Ports & Railways Authority (PRA) has selected a team headed by New York-based Han-Padron Associates to provide planning, design, and engineering consulting and supervisory ser- vices for a long-planned $244 mil- lion expansion of Haifa Port. The Haifa Port Extension East B pro- ject is the central phase of the PRA's Ports 2000 program, a staged development plan which will ultimately increase the capac- ity at Haifa to 20 million tons/yr., with an annual container capacity of 900,000 TEU (20-ft. equivalent units) and 1.5 million passengers. Design work was expected to begin in September. Construction will begin in 1999 and the new facili- ties will go into operation in 2004. The current phase of the project includes a 500-m extension of the existing main breakwater; con- struction of quays; dredging and land reclamation; and the addition of container, general cargo, and dry-bulk terminals in the eastern area of the port.
