Project Scope

Necessitated the demolition of approximately 8,000 square feet of timber wharf consisting of creosote piling, pile caps and bracing, stringers, decking and guardrails. Twenty-eight 24-inch-diameter steel pipe piles socketed 2m into bedrock were installed, including reinforced concrete fill. Fabricated and installed steel wharf structure pile caps and installed 12,000 square feet of 16-inch-thick suspended reinforced concrete wharf deck. The new wharf was tied back into shoe with a 150 LF of reinforced concrete abutment with 6 buried concrete deadmen anchors for seismic lateral restraint. Work included the reinstallation of the existing galvanized gangway access to the mooring floats and erection of a new dock mount hoisting crane. All work was to be completed while maintaining an operational facility.
