ositioned along the App roach, east of the north fishing

rovided. The Sunset Ca f and the Ic e C ream Shop are
located on the Party Deck to take advantage of the
shade provided by the M ain Deck level. The third d ining
option at the Pier Head is located within the top level
Sky Deck of the inverted pyramid. Space is provided
for a new 3,500 square foot Sky Deck Restaurant that
will offer air-conditioned dining inside and caf style,
shaded seating outside.
CYCLING, WALKING, AND JOGGING PATHS
Bicyc le lanes and sidewalks are provided along the Pier
Approach to the Pier Head and circulate all aroundthe Pyramid. These pathways are 12 feet wide at their
narrowest point. They are dedicated to cyclists and
pedestrians as are the pa thways all along o ur current
waterfront. We envision bicycle share stations at the
Uplands ramp access and at the Pyramid Main Deck,
automated like the Paris, New York, Montreal and
Tampa Bike renta l systems. Ad ditional pa thways extend
to fishing docks and c onnect ba ck to the Uplands Park.
A new north-south sidewalk forms a new beach edge
and leads to the north seawall at the entrance to the
Vinoy Basin.
TRANSPORTATION OPTIONS
The new Pier will have ple ntiful sidewa lks for ped estrians
and bicycles, and two lanes dedicated for public
trams, a trolley, emergency vehicles, service vehicles
and limited automobile access. All vehicular traffic
will be 15 mph speed controlled and safe, pedestrian
crossings will be offered.
We envision that a free City provided public tram
system of golf-cart-type open cars will run continuously
between Bayshore Drive and the Pier Head. Shaded

equipped w ith wheelcha ir lifts and a place at the bac k

be fa rther than a two minute walk to a Tram Stop.
Car, taxi and tour bus access to the Pier Head is
provided on the two vehicular lanes. Drop-off and Pick-
up will be available at the Pier Head, however, there
will be no pa rking on the Bridge Approa ch o r at the PierHead. Vehicular circulation around the Pier Head will
be allowed only for Emergency, Service and Delivery
vehicles.
FISHING
A stable, wood decked fishing platform running
parallel to the Pier Approac h occ urs on the north side.
Acc essed via a n ac cessible sloping ramp on two sides,
anglers can fish from a d eck just four feet off the waters
surface. A bait shop with concessions, restrooms and
drinking fountains, is located at the east end of the
fishing platform. At the Pier Head, a lower level for
recreational fishing will be place d o n the southeast side
of the Head, also near water level. It will be co nnected
to the Party Deck level via two acc essible ramps, which
provide access to restrooms, drinking fountains and a
souvenir stand.

constructed of heavy duty, non-corrosive, non-eroding

his large w aterfa ll is just one of the rewards a t the e nd o f
our stroll out to the Pier Hea d. It is the must see e vent.
We envision that the waterfall system on the west side of
he Pyramid will be programmed to operate o nly one time
er hour, on the ho ur, for 10 minutes in duration. Like the
ittering lights of the Eiffel Tower in Paris or the Bellagio
ountain in Las Vegas, this special event will become a
uch anticipated occurrence that will beckon visitors of
l ages to enjoy the spec tacle.
The waterfall system will consist of an overflow trough at
uardrail height on the west side of the top level Sky Dec k
bserva tion platform. The trough is ap proximately 164
ng and is set 65 abo ve sea level.
The overflow trough is fed from 3 separate pumps into
narrow trough that feeds a series of 1 streams of water
paced at perhaps 2 on center. The pumps will operate 3
eparate sections of the trough, the 2 ends and the middle,
lowing numerous opportunities for customization.
The pumps will be programmed to ope rate one time per
our, on the ho ur, for 10 minutes in duration. This will be
epeated on a spec ific schedule as desired and c ould run
r longer periods of time during special events or holidays.
Estimated pump flow is 9,000gpm = (3) x 90 hp pump s.
ach pump requires a 14 supply pipe and the multiple
umps provide redundancy.
A wind sensing system will monitor wind speeds and
rection and will be interfaced with each o f the 3 pumps
o that in high or problematic w ind co nditions, the pumps
hut off. The estimated wind threshold befo re turning off
15 mph. The pump that operate s the middle section,
cated above the pedestrian bridge, will have an even
wer wind threshold.
SKY D ECK WATERFALL
A second waterfall feature will be positioned along
the pedestrian bridge leading to the west side of the
Pyramid s Main Entrance . This system will run co ntinuously
during operating hours and give visitors the opportunity
to stroll between two wa lls of water.
The waterfall system will consist of an overflow trough
at bridge de ck level on either side of the gua rdrail. Each
trough is approximately 100 long, with water falling
approximately 24 to the sea level below.
The overflow troughs are fed from 3 separate pumps
below into a narrow trough that feeds a series of 1
streams of water spaced at perhaps 2 on ce nter.
Pumps will be programmed to ope rate perhaps up to
16 hours per day as desired.
Estimated pump flow is 6,000gpm =(3) x 30 hp pumps.
Each p ump requires a 12 supply pipe a nd the multiple
pumps provide redundancy.
A wind sensing system will monitor wind speeds and
direction and will be interfaced with the bridge pumps
so that in high or problematic wind conditions, the
pumps will shut off. The estimated wind threshold be fore
turning off is 20mph for the Entry Bridge Waterfall.

ECHNICAL
Plants have been selected to fit perfectly with the
geographical area and the specific micro climates
afforded by exposure to the co nditions of Tampa Bay.
We have utilized native or adapted species of plant
materials (preferred list attached) appropriate for their
location, their aesthetic and growth characteristics,
their utility, their maintenance requirements and their
sustainability.
Specifically, the Plans landscape design maintains
the alle of podocarpus street trees that line Second
Avenue N.E. These trees are healthy and have be en
a part of the historic fabric of the Pier approach for
decades, originally decorated by businesses during
the Winter Holiday season over 70 years ago. We ha ve
also been sensitive to retaining as many oak trees on
site as possible, designing around major trees and
transplanting smaller ones. We have used retaining
walls, tree wells, site configuration, and other methods
to ensure these trees will remain healthy and provide
shade for many years to come. Walkways are shaded
with tree foliage on the upland. Clusters of native
ornamental trees and pa lms have also been e mployed
to visually link introduced elements to the park fabric.
ST. PETES WATERFRONT ECOLOGY
The de sign tea m und erstands tha t spec ific co nditions
of the environmental resource permit may require
water quality monitoring during demolition of the
existing pier and construction of the new pier which will
be managed through temporary mixing zones and/or
sediment/turbidity barriers that are safe for manatees
and other wildlife. Turbidity monitoring may also be
required at various sampling locations within pre
specified construction zones during the pier demolition,
new pier construction and airport shoreline stabilization
as ap propriate. Despite these temporary, co nstruction
related activities, the design team anticipates a net
environmental benefit a s a result of the new pier d esign
and therefore does not anticipate any permitting
obstacles that would inhibit construction of the
proposed d esign by the St. Pete De sign G roup.

team will work in collaboration with the loc al Building and
Fire authorities in St Petersburg to develop a design which
meets the needs of all those interested parties.
ADDITIONAL CODE CO MMENTARY
Because of its variable p rogramming, there will be special
events at which more than 300 congregate in a single
area, howe ver, the Pier will be c losed when wind speeds
reac h Tropic al Storm Force leve ls (39 to 73mph). The Pier
is not an essential facility and has no e mergency, defe nse
or strategic function, however, the 2014 Florida Building
Code uses the Risk Category for determining the seismic
design category, which will be a requirement in Florida
with the new cod e. Seismic events cannot be planned
for or evacuated prior to. Our team believes it is safe and
prudent to opt for a higher occupancy and risk category
cla ssifica tion for the new Pier. For these reasons, our
design adheres to the requirements of a Risk Category III
structure.
The botto m of the lowest horizontal structural member
(pile cap) of an occupied level will be 1-foot or more
above flood level.
Wind load s will correspond to an ultimate basic wind
speed o f 155 mph (3 sec p eak gust). ASCE 7-10 wind
pressures will be calculated using Exposure D.
A Performance ba sed Life Safety evaluation will
utilize the Stranded Crowd Model. Performance
data obtained will be evacuation flow rates, total
evacuation time, etc.
Number of occupa nts will be calculated based on
performance based evaluation.
Co mputer Mode l Input Data: Occupa nt Load, total

s the key element of the scheme, the inverted pyramid,
ill be the most densely occupied area of the pier
nd therefore a central focal point of the projects fire
strategy. Designed as a sprinkler protected assembly
building, the inverted pyramid will be provided with a
series of separated, and fire protected, egress routes
that will enable occupant discharge onto the pier in a
number of locations thereby providing redundancy and
diversification of the buildings egress provisions. With
the inverted pyramid containing open stairs creating
connections between adjacent floors, which could
provide a route for smoke spread within the building, it
will be essential to demonstrate that this will not hinder
an occupants ability to utilize the buildings protected
means of egress. In order to achieve this, a CFD analysis
of the space will be conducted to reinforce the Building
Codes atrium design requirements and to demonstrate
that a high standard of occupant safety has been fully
integrated into the design.
Efficient access to the pier, and hence to the inverted
pyramid, for emergency vehicles and First Responders is
considered an essential element of the projects emergency
strategy. Roads and access routes on the pier will be of
sufficient width (min. 20-0 clear width and 13-6 clear
height) and capacity (32 tons) to accommodate those
emergency vehicles expected on site and roadways will
be loc ated such that the most direct ac cess to buildings
can be made. Where turning facilities are required, the
appropriate turning radius for vehicles required to a cc ess
the pier will be p rovided in addition to a series of break-
out areas along the piers approach road will can be
used as areas where pedestrians can move to one-side
to allow the passage of emergency vehicles. Once on
the pier, First Responders will have access to a network of
fire-fighting water supplies with all parts of the pier being
within 150ft of a fire hydrant or a standpipe to allow rap id
deployment of resources.

VE-8 flood zone.
une through Nove mber is hurricane sea son in the Atla ntic
c ean a nd Ca ribbean Sea with the majority of hurricane
c tivity occurring between August and October. Tampa
ay experiences effects of passing storms although it is
ncommon for the area to receive a direct hit. The effec t
f these p assing storms typica lly result with high winds,
creased wave heights, flooding d ue to storm surge, a nd
crea sed cross-shore sediment transpo rtation rates. The
5 Octo ber 1921 Tarpo n Springs storm was the la st major
urricane to directly hit the St. Petersburg areas with wind
peeds on a pproximately 115 mph at landfa ll.
urricanes and tropical storms consist of large wind fieldsriven by pressure gradients from a central low pressure
nd temp erature grad ients in the atmosphe re. The winds
om these events create storm surges by blowing the
cean water up against the coastline. Flooding results
ith a combination of a storm or tidal surge and high
ver stage s from heav y rain. The severity of flood ing is
ependent upon the intensity of the storm event and its
uration.
Forces due to wind, waves, and storm surge will directly
impact the pier as it is loca ted within the near-shore and
surf zone areas. Longshore and cross-shore sediment
transports are natural processes that oc cur at the project
loc ation. During storm events, cross-shore sediment
transport rates are dominant, resulting in erosion as sand is
depo sited to o ffshore sandbars. The effec ts of this on the
pier takes the form of scouring around the piles, with piles
within the surf and swash zones being the most effected.
The Fede ral Emergenc y Ma nage ment Ad ministration
(FEMA) P-55, C oastal Co nstruction Manual, gives guidance
on co nstruction of residences in coa stal areas. Though
information pertaining directly to the design requirements
of fishing piers is not provided, the content of the manual
focusing on pile foundation design and the effects of and
debris impact during storm events can be used in the
design of the pile substructure. In general, the methodsused to determine base flood elevations, wave heights
and wave crest elevation, wave run-up, localized storm
erosion, and impact loads can be used to determine
co nservative values for schema tic design. These are
found in Chapter 3 Identifying Hazards and Chapter 8
Determining Site-Spec ific Loa ds. Determination of the
site-specific wave loads will be determined for the final
design.
TORM LOAD CRITERIA
Wind load for the new pier shall be calculated basedon the ASCE 7-10 standard utilizing Risk Category III and
Exposure D. Dominant wind-generated wa ve heights
and d irections will be considered for design of the p ier.
Moffat and Nic hol provided a n Extreme Value A nalysis
of historical wind speeds from MacDill Air Force Base
from 1941 through 2011, in their report entitled St.
Petersburg Pier Design competition Metocean and
Structural Co nce pt Level Design Basis. It was reported
the majo rity of wind co mes from the East-North East with
winds in excess of 30 mph occurring in some instance
in all directions. This is attributable to the pa ssing of
hurricane or tropica l storm events. Return period s for
the 25, 50, and 100-year events found 10-minute winds
speed s of 74, 83, and 92 mph, respec tively. Howe ver,
these values did not take into account wind direction
and therefore the recurrence of directional extreme
winds will be analyzed for the final design.
Waves found in Tampa Bay are either locally generated
wind waves or offshore swells that enter the Bay from
the inlets between Mullet, Egmont, Passage, and
School Keys. Locally generated wind waves are the
dominant waves that are expected to be found at
the proposed pier location. Design wave heights will
be c alculated to include storm surge as this will occ ur
during significant storm events.

he piles that will support the propo sed pier must b e
ngineered to withstand not only the dead and live
ads of the pier but a lso the loads from hurricane winds,
rea king waves, and latera l currents. Existing piles for
urrent pier will not be used and new piles will be driven
stead.
here are severa l pile type o ptions that c ould b e used to
orm the foundation of the pier, but circular prestressed
oncrete spun-cast piles have been chosen for the
onc ept design. Conc rete piles are reinforced to resist
he bending moment developed during pickup andansportation, vertical load, and bending moment
a used by lateral load. They can be subject to hard
riving, can be easily combined with a concrete
uperstructure, and are corrosion resistant.
le caps will evenly distribute the concentrated loads
om the superstructure of the pier to the supporting pile
roup. Orienting the c aps transverse to the length of the
pier provides improved lateral stiffness for environmental
forces experienced during hurricane and tropical
storm events. Precast concrete pile caps expedite
construction, but some c onditions may dictate the use of
formed and p oured pile ca ps or that portions of precast
pile caps be formed and poured. Formed and pouredconstruction will be used for pile c aps where a lignment
issues are a conc ern.
The dec k of the p ier ap proa ch and the sub-leve l of the
pier head are to be constructed from a formed and
poured c oncrete slab over co ncrete Florida I-Beams. The
conc rete Florida I-Beams are to bea r on the concrete pile
ca ps at each b ent. The upper level of the pier head is to
be co nstructed from a formed and poured co ncrete slab
sitting directly on c oncrete piles and conc rete columns.
Consideration is being given to using precast plank with
a topping slab in place of formed and poured slabs to
expedite construction and to decrease construction
costs.
