The purpose? For cruise ships to switch off their engines while docking and use electricity instead, conserving fuel and reducing emissions. This change would lead to cleaner air for Seattle and other ports adopting the same practice. ## **Procuring a Power Source**** for Pier 66 ** Pier 66 lacked a power source at that time, so the Port of Seattle began procuring one. The solution involved laying submarine cable on the seabed alongside Seattle's shore, linking Pier 66 to renewable energy from Seattle City Light. Here's how we did it.   [Read More](https://www.jfbrennan.com/blog/submarine-cable-shore-power) [**{count-facebook}](https://www.jfbrennan.com/blog/topic/great-place-to-work/page/2#)[**{count-twitter}](https://www.jfbrennan.com/blog/topic/great-place-to-work/page/2#)[**{count-linkedin}](https://www.jfbrennan.com/blog/topic/great-place-to-work/page/2#)[**](https://www.jfbrennan.com/blog/topic/great-place-to-work/page/2#) [![Sunset at Scanlon Hydro Dam J.F.

Extending the life of this renewable energy source by 50 to 100 years, the Scanlon Dam Gate Replacement Project enables the further creation of clean, renewable power provided to local communities.  We were pulled into the project very early on during the design phase of the project.

Our team replaced an 18,000-LB, 105-FT underwater soundbar with wet-mateable connections (cables and speakers that can be connected and disconnected underwater). This underwater acoustic deterrent system (UADS) upgrade allows divers to replace individual speakers if underperforming rather than continuing to remove the entire system. Why? The U.S. Geological Survey ([USGS](https://www.usgs.gov/)) is spearheading a 3-year study to reduce the number of invasive carp moving toward the Great Lakes. It is the only study on the Mississippi River evaluating a deterrent for invasive carp.  [Read More](https://www.jfbrennan.com/blog/underwater-acoustic-deterrent-system-carp) [**{count-facebook}](https://www.jfbrennan.com/blog/topic/great-place-to-work/page/2#)[**{count-twitter}](https://www.jfbrennan.com/blog/topic/great-place-to-work/page/2#)[**{count-linkedin}](https://www.jfbrennan.com/blog/topic/great-place-to-work/page/2#)[**](https://www.jfbrennan.com/blog/topic/great-place-to-work/page/2#) [![Photo of Mike Binsfeld's acceptance speech ](https://www.jfbrennan.com/hubfs/Header%20Outstanding%20Philanthropic%20Organization%20Award%202023%20Brennan-1.jpg) ](https://www.jfbrennan.com/blog/philanthropic-award) ## [J.F.

Working under LS Marine alongside Ramsey County, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Saint Paul District, and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, Brennan built up islands at Pigs Eye Lake in Saint Paul, Minnesota. The project's master plan features seven islands, sand beaches, marsh habitat, and land plantings.
