Systems Engineering II: Fuel for Thought: They’re going Green

Presentation Announcement

Highlands, NJ, January 18^th, 2011 – A Student Presentation, an opportunity for exposure to the construction and design of the Green Marina Fueling Docks, 1:20 p.m. at the MAST Campus, Building 303.

Introduction

With the project at its last legs, the opportunity to be exposed to the design and construction of the Sandy Hook Green Marina’s fuel docks is available. With student Erika Thompson speaking, the presentation will be held on January 18^th, 2011. Erika Thompson is a senior at the Marine Academy of Science and Technology concentrating on Systems Engineering II in her final year. Next year, she will be continuing her studies at Columbia University, expected to graduate in 2015. Ms. Thompson’s project is to design and construct a set of concise drawings for the fuel docks of the Green Marina proposed to be constructed bayside, on the chapel area of Sandy Hook. Her presentation will introduce the design and installation process of the fueling system as well as the thought process of her work. It is predicted to be very intriguing and informative.

Project Description

A-1: The working drawings of the fuel dock

      Erika Thompson’s project is to design the layout of the fueling station for boaters to access at the Sandy Hook Green Marina year round, and provide the details for installation of the components for the system. She also is responsible for designing the dock layout (Figure A-1) which must promote efficiency and restrict crashes and spills from boat collisions. The purpose of her layout is to minimize boat traffic and provide fuel in an efficient way to the various types of boats that come in and out of the marina.  She has taken into consideration all of the factors that she needs to base her designs around and has created a list of specifications and limitations regarding size, safety, and efficiency.. The mood of her project’s design is ecologically friendly. Her goal is to design a product that will provide fuel to boaters safely and efficiently while having an ecological footprint, or lasting imprint on the environment that is as close to null as possible. By researching the product lines of dispensers, pipes, fuel shut-off valves, and protection systems, she has comprised a design that causes the least possible harm to the environment. She has gained knowledge from multiple companies who are very familiar with the line of her work.

The Mentor’s Role

Mentors have played a huge role in the project’s process. The presentation will introduce the role of a mentor and how they are involved in the whole process of the project. Their role is to guide the student in the right direction on the design path. Erika’s mentor Mr. Logan Trimble is an engineering student at MIT. Mr. Adam Tierney helps run the Liberty State Park Marina. With a combination of the two mentors, Erika has a wide range of knowledge at her own disposal that she has used for her project. She has obtained site maps from them and PDF files detailing examples of possible fuel system designs and drawings. When mentors are taken advantage of correctly, the can completely change the outcome of a project in a positive manner.

STEMM and its Involvement

            STEMM is the Science, Technology, Engineering, Manufacturing and Math involved in the project. The most important aspect of Erika’s project is the Technology. If it were not for the technology of fuel systems already created in Erika’s projects by the company’s, and the level of advanced fueling technologies today, she would not be able to create a design that is so environmentally friendly. The technology in her design includes everything from the fuel dispensers to the emergency shut off systems. Without this vital advancement of technologies, the fueling system would be prone to spills and risk whether or not they would be detected by anyone before if was too late. Less damage can be done with this technology to the environment, guaranteeing a success in designing a “Green” product.

The Presentation

      January 18^th, 2011 marks the date of Erika Thompson’s Formal Progress Update. This presentation is formal as Erika is ready to make good impressions incase she is presenting to a client or any other professional interested in her work. The presentation should run under a half an hour as any other business presentation would be. She does not want to bore the client and other professionals; she is looking to intrigue them with her design and product. Those who attend this presentation will be able to ask questions at the end and learn about the fully functioning fuel dock. Developmental drawings (Figure A-2) will be presented and review is encouraged, as Erika always looks for more design ideas and inspiration.

Final Expectations

      The finished design is meant to meet all of the required expectations of how a Green fuel dock should work. The design will be aesthetically pleasing as well as safe and efficient, having very little impact on the surrounding ecology. The design will minimize boat traffic, as well as safely and efficiently provide fuel. The green marina will overall benefit from this design and the final set of drawings will be very professional.

Conclusion

The presentation concerning Erika Thompson’s design of the fuel docks will be held on January 18^th, 2011. She was given the opportunity to design and construct a set of concise drawings for the fuel docks of the Green Marina proposed to be constructed bayside, on the chapel area of Sandy Hook. Her presentation will introduce the design and installation process of the fueling system as well as the thought process of her work. With her mentors at hand she is able to have assistance and be ensured that the designs are viable for production. The STEMM aspect will establish the key components of the design and production process. Lastly, all of the information proffered will be explained in more detail during the upcoming student presentations. These will be taking place at the Marine Academy on the date previously stated.

Rationale

This selection/rejection/ intention report has chosen what I will carry out in my design. The nature of the designs is well organized, ecologically friendly, and safe to users. The angles should look clean and be aesthetically pleasing to the viewer. Also, modern and ecologically friendly materials must be used to add to the pleasing aesthetics. They must provide a viable solution for the organization of the fuel stations to limit boat traffic and to meet the demand of fuel.

The first solution is the largest of the three alternate solutions. It has 4 pumps for 8 slips and two additional pumps for up to 4 additional fueling stations for boats who would like to quickly pull in. The 8 other slips must be used by boaters who are willing to pull or back into the space. In total, there are 6 fueling pumps. A fuel house for the gas attendants that is 20 by 15 feet resides in the middle of the large platform dock. Additional piping goes through to the fuel house such as waste and water and follows the same pipe line as the gas pumps. Each of the slips is 20 feet wide and 50 feet long on 45 degree angles from the side. If chosen as a solution, there would have to be some changes made to the layout due to the new site area which is described in the edited specifications and limitations. Also, I would replace the lined strips of dock with pilings with rope atop of each one to mark the slip’s space and angle.

Pros:

-         The design is very large and can provide fuel access to a large amount of boats.

-         There are many options for the boats to gain access, even on the busiest of days.

-         The design efficiently uses the amount of pumps due to the placement of the Superflow Dual Dispenser pumps in the middle of two slips (1 pump per 2 slips)

-         Long fuel hoses can access any type of boat

-         Pipelines running centrally down the underside of the dock offer protection for the lines

-         The 100 foot fueling spot allows large boats and ferries to have access to

Cons:

-         Takes up a large amount of space and materials

-         Fuel attendants might have trouble covering large amount of ground

-         May have more pumps than needed

The second solution is the second largest, occupying a 90 foot by 90 foot space. In this solution there are 4 slips that boats would be able to back into to fuel up and an additional 70 foot space at the end of the dock for a single, large boat or two small sized boats to pull up and tie up. The two slips on each side will each share a pump with two hoses. The slips are at 45 degree angles and are 20 feet wide and 40 feet long. As in the previous solution, there is a fuel house that lies in the center of the end diamond shaped portion of the dock. It is 15 feet from the end of the dock and its area is 20 feet by 15 feet. The piping for the dock lies underneath it in the center of the dock and extends to each of the pumps. If this were a chosen solution, I would have to adjust the placement of the pumps to make sure they are a safe distance away from the edge of the dock. The gas attendants should not have any problems after that adjustment to travel from pump to pump in a short amount of time. Also, I would replace the lined strips of dock with pilings with rope atop of each one to mark the slip’s space and angle.

Pros:

-         The design is fairly large and can provide fuel access to a large amount of boats of all shapes and sizes.

-         The design efficiently uses the amount of pumps due to the placement of the Superflow Dual Dispenser pumps in the middle of two slips (1 pump per 2 slips)

-         Long fuel hoses that are to be used can access any type of boat

-         Pipelines running centrally down the underside of the dock offer protection to the lines

-         Fuel attendants will be able to sufficiently access the three different pumps

-         The 70 foot fueling spot allows large boats and ferries to have access to fuel

Cons:

-         The end diamond shaped dock takes up more space and materials than necessary. The additional angles should be flattened out

-         Does not offer the most amount of service opportunities

-         There would be boat traffic on busy days with only 5 fueling stations/slips

The third and final solution for the layout of the docks takes up a space that is 100 feet long and 75 feet wide. It is the smallest of the three designs. Unlike the other two designs, this solutions design has smaller slips and has harsher angles that may not be aesthetically pleasing. There are 4 slips in total and they are 18 feet wide and 25 feet long. They can potentially accommodate ships that are longer than 25 feet long, both their bows would stick out into the water causing boat traffic and less protection of the ships. The pumps are located right off of the main dock in the middle of the sets of slips. The gas pumps that jut out from the dock are protected by the triangular barriers. There are two more pumps at the end of the dock on either side. They occupy the spaces that are the 135 degree parts of the trapezoid. The fuel house is in the center of the trapezoid end of the dock. It is 20 feet wide and 12 feet long. The piping runs under the center of the dock n order to have the utmost protection and eliminate spills from boat impact on the pipes. If this were the chosen solution, I would eliminate the triangular extension of dock jutting out between the slips and replace them with pilings. Also, the fueling pumps would have to be adjusted to they do not rest at the edges of the dock, but a few feet in from the edges.

Pros:

-         The design efficiently uses the amount of pumps by the slips due to the placement of the Superflow Dual Dispenser pumps in the middle of two slips (1 pump per 2 slips)

-         Long fuel hoses that are to be used can access any type of boat

-         Pipelines running centrally down the underside of the dock offer protection to the lines

-         Fuel attendants will be able to sufficiently access the four different pumps

Cons:

-         The design is small and is not able to provide fuel access to a large amount of boats of all shapes and sizes.

-         The pumps at the end of the dock would not be efficiently used.

-         Does not offer the most amount of service opportunities

-         There would be boat traffic on busy days with only 5 fueling stations/slips

-         Boats larger than 25 feet in length may have trouble protecting their boats from possible damage

The design that will be chosen according to the Spec Check chart is Solution #1. It adheres to all of the specifications the best out of the three designs. I was most importantly looking to chose a design with the largest possible amount of pumps and areas with access to fuel so that it would always have minimal boat traffic, even on busy summer weekends. The only minor drawback in the fact that it is larger than the other solutions is that it would take up more materials thus being less ecologically efficient. But if it is well maintained and the large size would limit boat crashes and potential oil spills from those crashes, then that is what is more important in the final solution.

            The details that will need to be changed in the design are few but very important. The fuel pumps will need to be placed a few more feet from the edge of the dock for two reasons. One, the attendants would be able to have better access to the pumps and the operating systems, and two, the added distance would not allow boats to impact the pumps resulting in spills. I found out from my fellow teammate, MaR, that my dock will be stationary which I was pleased to hear.  For my designs, I simply focused on the layout because this could have changed depending on the way she wanted to design the docks. The piping will not have to touch the water and I will familiarize myself with the methods of installing the piping under the dock with the research I have done. Once my other teammate, MiR, knows what he is doing with his pipelines that run under the ground, I will be able to connect to his piping easily.

Calendar

2nd Marking Period Bi-Weekly Log Update

11/18/10 - Developmental work is in progress. I have been learning how to use Google SketchUp as opposed to using AutoCAD. I have the layout dimensions complete and I have started to create the gas pump which is based off of the design of the SuperFlow Fuel Dispensers that I have chosen to use. I am applying more detail to the layout as I discover more about SketchUp.

Design Brief

Design the layout of the fueling station for boaters to access at the Sandy Hook Green Marina year round, and provide the details for installation of the components for the system.

Bi-weekly Log Update

10/6/10 - This week, I have been trying to catch up and make small changes to little details in my background information, testing procedures, and alternative solutions. I have also been working on a design matrix for the dock layout solutions. That needs to be posted as soon as possible. Also, another set of solutions regarding the dock installtion must be developed and posted, along with a design matrix for that. I am waiting to hear from the team member who is designing the dock whether the fueling dock will be stationary or floating before I create the installation solutions. There is no need to create a set of solutions for the installation of pipes on a type of dock that will not even be used, so that is causing me to be a bit behind the ball.

Alternative Solutions: Dock Layouts

            I have created three solutions for the fueling station layout. The purposes of the different layouts are to minimize boat traffic and provide fuel in an efficient way to the various types of boats that come in and out of the marina. The solutions range in size, shape and number of vessels that have access to the fuel.

The fueling dock layout for Solution #1 will span over a 115 by 125 foot space. There will be special slips on each side of the dock that are angled at 45 degrees. The boats will be able to back into the slips and it will minimize boat traffic by allowing more boats to access the pumps at a time. For this design, there would be 6 pumps and 8 slips (4 slips per side). There will be a pump per every two slips with two hoses on each pump, meaning that two slips share one pump. The other 2 pumps are located at the end of the dock so boats can pull up and access the pumps quicker than they would be able to backing into a slip. The slips are at 45 degree angles and are 50 feet long and 20 feet wide. The piping would lie under the center of the dock and extend to each pump. The fuel house is 20 feet by 15 feet and lies in the center of the dock where it is 55 feet wide. It is 30 feet from the end of the dock.

            The fueling dock layout for Solution #2 takes up a 90 foot by 90 foot space. In this solution there are 4 slips that boats would be able to back into (2 slips on each side). The two slips on each side will each share a pump with two hoses. The slips are at 45 degree angles and are 20 feet wide and 40 feet long. In addition to the two pumps near the slips, there is one more at the end of the dock. The dock is 70 feet at the end allowing for larger boats to access fuel. As in the previous solution, there is a fuel house that lies in the center of the end diamond shaped portion of the dock. It is 15 feet from the end of the dock and its area is 20 feet by 15 feet. The piping for the dock lies underneath it in the center of the dock and extends to each of the pumps.

            The third and final solution for the layout of the docks takes up a space that is 100 feet long and 75 feet wide. It is the smallest of the three designs. There are 4 slips (2 on each side) and they are 18 feet wide and 25 feet long. They can potentially accommodate ships that are longer than 25 feet long. The pumps are located right off of the main dock in the middle of the sets of slips. The gas pumps that jut out from the dock are protected by the triangular barriers. There are two more pumps at the end of the dock on either side. They occupy the spaces that are the 135 degree parts of the trapezoid. The fuel house is in the center of the trapezoid end of the dock. It is 20 feet wide and 12 feet long. The piping runs under the center of the docks.

            These solutions can all efficiently provide fuel. They range in size, shape, number of slips and pumps. The layouts will minimize boat traffic and safely provide fuel.

           

Testing Procedures

The final solution should function to its fullest ability. The layout of the dock must allow the fueling station to be used as efficiently as possible. There should be a sufficient amount of pumps so that they are all used nearly the same amount without a significant amount of boat traffic. Boats normally have gas tanks in the back of the boats, so traffic can be eliminated if there are slips for boats to pull into and if there is a single traffic direction that boats can take. The system that is to be tested is the layout of the fueling dock. What will be specifically tested is its protection from external elements such as vessel impacts and water levels, the fluidity of the expected vessel traffic, and the maneuvering ability the gas attendants would have from pump to pump. The installation of the fueling system will undergo its own series of testing procedures, which will be administrated by the company which installs it. The design and layout of the dock will be administrated and tested by the designer (myself) throughout the design process. Also, the users of the dock which include the customers and the fuel dock staff, will be testing the design. The location of the testing will mainly focus at the end of the dock that is jutting out into the water. There is where most of the details in which need to be tested reside (i.e. the pump placement and protection). These tests will mainly occur in the preliminary and secondary stages of the design. The testing types that I will use are exploratory, assessment, validation, and comparison tests. 

Exploratory testing will be used in the preliminary stages of development. This type of testing will develop the motivation for the overall design. They will basically test the users' interest and feelings towards the concept of the design. They will test how well the users' requirements are met. It will test all of this through surveys and common sense. For example, would a boater want to wait or have to maneuver through traffic? The answer derived from common sense would be "no," so that is as far as that test would go. This testing step, although very simple, is vital to the motivation for the design.

Assessment testing will aim to measure the usability of the chosen alternative solution. This testing will be done in the secondary stage of design once the solution is chosen. Specifically, it will test the effectiveness of the design involving the way that boats maneuver, how protected the fuel pumps are, and how easily the attendant may move from pump to pump. This can be assessed by measuring distances properly. Boats of all shapes and sizes should be able to have enough space to easily maneuver in and out of the fuel dock and its slips. Giving the biggest boat enough space to maneuver forward, backward, left and right among the fuel dock, (and then some), will ensure that there will be no problems for any size of boat. To test the distance the fuel pumps should be from the dock, ideally, a simulation of a boat crashing into the dock would be used. There is not a standard distance that the pump is required to be away from the edge of the dock, but that does not mean that one cannot be found with a simulation. If a simulation is not available, a well estimated distance for the pumps can be found through comparison. This distance would also have to correlate with the level of access the dock gas attendant would have to the pumps. The dock attendant must have proper access to the pumps without the risk of falling in the water and losing too much time as he walks from pump to pump. As long as there is enough space for a person to have access to the pumps without risk of falling in the water, the test would be successful.

Validation tests will be conducted in the latest development process and they will test the overall design goals. Once designed and constructed, the usability, performance, and maintainability of the placement of the fuel pumps and the boat movement will be tested by observation. If boat crashes occur often in the fuel dock environment or the wait time for boats is often very long, then the design fails the validation test. This also applies to the maneuverability of the dock attendant from pump to pump and the distance the pump is from the edge of the dock. If the pumps are often damaged by boat crashes and the attendants often fall in the water or more generally have a hard time maneuvering from pump to pump, then adjustments to the pump placement have to be made.

Comparison tests will be used in a couple different stages of the design process. They will be used to compare concepts and products between the design and other established examples. I will be using comparison tests to find a manageable distance between fuel pumps and placement of the pumps from the edge of the dock. I will do this by comparing my design to other actual marinas. Comparing different marinas to figure out the best way that boat traffic is to maneuver would also be ideal.

Numbered Procedures

1.      Validate the need of minimal boat traffic for boaters

2.      Compare the distances the fuel pumps are from the edge of the docks of other marinas

3.      Acquire measurements of boats that would be using the fueling stations

4.      Observe boat traffic

5.      Observe boat crashes into dock

6.      Observe abilities of fuel dock staff to manage pumps

Survey

Will be given out to the boaters to explore their needs and thoughts on maneuvering in, out, and around of fuel docks:

-         Would it benefit you to have minimal boat traffic?

-         What is the length and width of your boat?

-         How long has your waiting time for fueling been at other marinas?

-         What time of day would you mostly use the marina?

-         Would you rather have a fueling slip for your boat or come right up to the edge of the dock from the front?

-         Do you have enough space to maneuver in and out of the fueling stations?

Observation Sheet

List of things that will be observed by overseer once the marina is operating.

-         Are there enough gas attendants hired?

-         Are there complaints about not having enough space to maneuver boats?

-         Can the gas attendants easily access the pumps?

-         Are there many boat crashed into the docks?

-         Are the hoses long enough?

Marina Piping Brainstorming

I have recently found a distributor of marina piping called Northwest Pump & Equipment Co., and my goal is to use their "XP Marina/Aboveground Product Piping" in my design along with a few of their other products. The description is as follows:

APT Metallic Ducted (MD) pipe is the ideal choice for aboveground and marina fuel delivery systems. The MD series piping system contains our product piping inside a flexible metallic conduit. This superior construction adds fire protection, impact resistance and UV stability to what is already the highest quality piping system. The MD series pipe is shipped with single wall or secondary contained pipe already installed into the metallic jacket, reducing installation time in the field. For marinas, the flexibility of this product easily handles variation in water levels and can be installed alongside or under docks.

I would use this type of piping for under the docks due to te fact that it has some flexibility and it is made to easily handle aquatic environments.

Another website I found with some alternative solutions for a floating dock is provided by Franklin Fueling Systems. It exists at a PDF file, so information cannot be directly quoted. It provides flexible piping which will be needed in my different designs for connecting the pipes to different locations where flexibility is needed, such as connecting to sumps which provide fuel to the dispensers.

Background Information

Background Information 

The Chapel Area

Sandy Hook National Park

            An opportunity to design and propose a Green Marina on Sandy Hook National Park is given to a team of students. Every aspect of the Green Marina will be environmentally friendly. I am working with the fueling stations which will be located on the end of one of the docks on the Chapel area site. The fueling stations would be a great way to provide convenience to the park and would provide opportunities for business and exposure to the park as well as what else the marina has to offer. The specific situation requires fueling stations and their piping to be designed without harming the environment in which it resides. What will be designed is the layout of the fueling stations and the installation process will be familiarized with, for a company can be hired to install the system.

 

Building a marina with fueling docks will benefit the entire park. The environmentally friendly aspect of it will help the marina gain appeal while helping reduce the ecological footprint it will leave. The people that will be involved in the process of using and installing the marina's fueling stations are customers with vessels that need to be fueled, the staff that mans the docks, the workers who install the piping and fueling stations, the workers who maintain the stations up to a specific standard, and the inspectors of the marina. The fueling stations of the marina will enhance the convenience of Sandy Hook National Park to many people and may provide an income to the park. 

            Designing a green marina with fueling docks for Sandy Hook National park is a great way to enhance the visitor's experience at the park and create a business. The fueling stations are needed at the marina in order to provide convenience and an opportunity for business. Customers will be able to fuel their vessels and thereby provide an income for the marina. They would have to adhere to the safety guidelines of the fueling stations in order to do so, however. 

            The intended mood of the design is obviously ecologically friendly. The fueling stations must exist without harming the ecology around it, as if it doesn't exist in the environment at all. Also, the design must be clean and use as little chemicals as possible. The fueling stations must be sleek and the piping must be of quality. 
Also, the sounder the fueling stations look, the more of an attraction and a success they will be. 

 

Although this is an environmentally friendly marina, other marinas generally provide the same use. Fueling stations in marinas all over the world all have the same purpose: to provide fuel to vessels. This marina's fueling stations are to be designed a cut above the normal because the goal is to design them as environmentally friendly as possible. Like other products, the design will meet laws and regulations as well as taking extra measures to provide the same product that is existing in its environment without any harm to its ecology.
