The proposed project

Replacement of existing dock in disrepair:

• New fixed dock will be raised to a higher elevation with the addition of precast/cast in place concrete forms. 
• The upgraded fixed dock will connect to the upgraded walkway and will be supported by two metal monopiles replacing the two existing wood creosote piles. 
• A hinged ramp that connects to the moorage float and is kept in place by three steel piles.
• Floatation for the moorage float will be encased polystyrene billets.
• The new dock and piles will be prefabricated off-site then floated to the site by barge and installed using a marine crane.
