Not every structural engineering challenge reaches the skyline.

For a tunnel project at Swedish Medical Center's First Hill campus, existing underground utilities crossed directly through the planned excavation area, leaving little room for conventional shoring. Locating soldier piles within this congested corridor required precision planning and drilling by Mortenson and Malcolm Drilling.

KPFF supported Mortenson with the excavation shoring design for the construction of critical campus infrastructure.

The 2026 KPFF interns took a field trip on the light rail over the I-90 floating bridge, and out to the NE 8th Eastrail Pedestrian Bridge in Bellevue. Amidst thunder and lightning they heard about the challenges of post-tensioning the floating bridge and building a new pedestrian bridge that connects Eastrail to light rail!

Curious about the future of earthquake engineering? Our office's Director of Earthquake Engineering, Carl Misra, and Associate, Jessica Westermeyer, just returned from EERI 13NCEE. Highlights include:

» SEA International Arrivals Facility – Carl discussed how the project delivered enhanced resilience through the building's lateral system and walkway's essentially elastic superstructure.

» St. Michael Medical Center's Phase II Hospital Expansion – Carl explained how the bed tower was designed to avoid triggering seismic upgrades to the existing building.

» Confidential Mass Timber Warehouse – Jessica showcased how KPFF achieved carbon reduction while working in Seismic Design Category B.
