The terminal located at the Boston
Marine Industrial Park is used for the storage and distribution of several types
of cement, and serves as the home office for Coastal Cement Corporation. The project
consists of a 14,000 SF office building/bagging facility, four storage silos,
and equipment for conveying the cement. Cement tankers are unloaded via a pneumatic
enclosed conveying system into four 7,000 metric ton silos. An enclosed withdrawal
and distribution system allows cement to be bulk loaded into tank trucks or packaged
into bags for shipment on flat bed trucks. The site includes a waterfront park,
parking area for trucks waiting to be loaded, and landscaped areas and walks. The
project received the top honor award for excellence on the waterfront in a national
competition sponsored by the Waterfront Center, and received the 1990 New England
Regional Council/AIA honor award for new commercial construction. The project
was also awarded for excellence in concrete building design by the Portland Cement
Association, and the Association of General Contractors.
