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.
