Rainwater harvesting system greets James R. Herman cruise terminal
Set sail from Pier 27.
Alizabeth Cherian had quite the compressed schedule before the ships came into port. And not just any ships, these were yachts manned by the best crews in the world.
Cherian, P.E., LEED AP BD+C, with the San Francisco Department of Public Works, had less than one year to see her plumbing design and rainwater harvesting system be constructed at the city’s Pier 27 — part of the historic San Francisco waterfront. The first phase of Cherian’s design had to be completed in time for the launch of the 2013 America’s Cup held at San Francisco Bay last September.
