a foundation evaluation of this pier’s 2000 foot perimeter
<br />concrete apron and steel pile foundation. After documenting
<br />that significant corrosion and poor conditions were present,
<br />GEI designed alternatives for repairs; performed final design
<br />with contract drawings and technical specifications. Work
<br />consisted of substantial underwater construction to regain
<br />pile structural capacity and under deck concrete repairs.
<br />Mr. Titmuss was responsible for all client coordination and
<br />development of the engineering effort from investigation
<br />to construction documents as well as providing significant
<br />support throughout the construction phase. Construction
<br />Cost: $5.0 million.
<br />Waterfront Park Bulkhead Rehabilitation, City of
<br />Newburyport, MA: Project Manager, oversaw GEI’s
<br />investigation, analysis and assessment of the 1,500 foot steel
<br />bulkhead supporting the City’s Memorial Boardwalk. GEI
<br />performed above and below water inspection to determine
<br />the current life and develop alternatives for rehabilitation
<br />to extend the life to 40+ years. The project included survey,
<br />review of rehabilitation methods, design of repairs and
<br />obtainment of regulatory approvals. The preferred option for
<br />rehabilitation for most of the bulkhead is to install composite
<br />sheet piles outshore of the existing bulkhead and infill
<br />with concrete. Services provided included investigations,
<br />obtainment of regulatory approvals, design and preparation
<br />of construction documents and construction management.
<br />Construction Cost: $8.0 million
<br />Atlantic Salt Inc., Staten Island, NY: Responsible for
<br />overseeing the investigation and design for the revitalization
<br />of an existing marine terminal used for bulk handling of road
<br />salt. This $10+ Million project called for approximately 1,000
<br />linear feet of steel sheet bulkhead and dredging of 60,000
<br />cubic yards of material. The project also included demolition
<br />of 4 derelict industrial buildings along an additional 1200
<br />linear feet of waterfront. The bulkhead and tieback design
<br />had to address construction for deep draft vessel berthing,
<br />high loads of bulk salt storage alongside berth and impacts of
<br />existing concrete foundations. Other major issues included the
<br />severe erosion impacts of the channel from waves and wakes
<br />and combination of upland and offshore disposal for dredge
<br />material.
<br />Rouses Point Shoreline Walk and Pier, Rouses Point, NY: As
<br />Project Manager, Mr. Titmuss was responsible for the design
<br />of approximately 450 linear feet of steel bulkhead, a concrete
<br />pier structure and riprap shore protection on Lake Champlain.
<br />Design had to include an assessment of ice loading on the
<br />shoreline structures and the pier structure and bulkhead was
<br />evaluated to resist ice loading. GEI provided construction
<br />documents and construction phase support for this project.
<br />Estimated construction cost was $600,000
<br />Town-wide Regulatory Applications for Dredging, Town of
<br />Chatham, Chatham, MA: Prepare regulatory applications for
<br />the maintenance dredging of the numerous Town channels
<br />and harbors which undergo repetitive dredging to maintain
<br />their depth. Effort included review and documentation of
<br />current approval status of each site, updating of permit
<br />plans, and development of a comprehensive application
<br />for submission to regulatory agencies. Effort included the
<br />preparation of Notice of Intent, USACE Section 404, WPC
<br />Water Quality Certification and Chapter 91 Dredge Permit
<br />Applications. Effort also included incorporating eel grass
<br />survey data, Horseshoe Crab, Tern and Plover impacts and
<br />mitigation measures.
<br />Harwich Wychmere Town Dock, Commercial Pier and
<br />Bulkhead Reconstruction, Harwich, MA: Project Manager,
<br />oversaw all elements of the design for the reconstruction
<br />of the Town’s commercial pier at Wychmere Harbor.
<br />The reconstruction project for the replacement-in-kind
<br />construction project called for the complete removal of the
<br />existing pier and deteriorated bulkheads and the rebuild of
<br />the facility essentially within the same footprint with the new
<br />bulkhead being installed just outshore of the existing wall.
<br />The new pier was constructed with timber pile foundation,
<br />concrete pile caps and a concrete deck. The pier deck
<br />height was raised to accommodate the higher tides and
<br />reduce the times of overtopping during storm surges and
<br />spring tides. Services included investigation of site, design
<br />of reconstruction, preparation of construction documents,
<br />assisting the Town in the bidding and award and providing
<br />construction phase oversight. The project was completed July
<br />2015 and in full operation.
<br />Wild Harbor Bulkhead and Dredging, Falmouth, MA:
<br />Project manager overseeing the site investigation, design and
<br />permitting for a new cantilever steel bulkhead. The design also
<br />included dredging of 1600 cubic yards of sand with placement
<br />as beach nourishment on the adjacent Silver Beach. Mr.
<br />Titmuss obtained regulatory approvals for the project as well
<br />as developed bid and construction documents.
<br />Calf Pasture Fishing Pier, Jetty And Seawall, City Of
<br />Norwalk, CT: As Project Manager, investigated and assessed
<br />the severely damaged waterfront structures and fishing pier
<br />damaged by Hurricane Irene and Super Storm Sandy. An
<br />assessment of sea level rise and future storm conditions
<br />was performed to evaluate the need to raise the structure.
<br />The replacement pier was designed to resist wave impacts
<br />and raised in elevation to reduce the loading. Responsible
<br />for overall project management including design of repairs,
<br />permit approvals and bid and construction documents as
<br />well as construction phase services. Construction Cost: $1.6
<br />million.
