of this ADA compliant replacement berthing facility for the
<br />Rhode Island Fast Ferry Service. The project included design
<br />and construction of two timber piers and ADA compliant vessel
<br />access. The timber piers provided dock access and overnight
<br />vessel mooring and were 100 feet and 480 feet in length
<br />respectively. Effort included design, permitting, construction
<br />documents, bid support and construction phase support.
<br />Provincetown Public Marina, Provincetown, MA: Project
<br />Manager responsible for all elements of the improvements for
<br />the reconstruction, expansion and dredging at the MacMillan
<br />Wharf commercial marina. Services included the investigation
<br />of current conditions of the marina, development of
<br />alternatives for reconstruction and wave attenuation, design
<br />of float mooring system for the marina and wave attenuation
<br />system, and design of the dredge limits for the proposed
<br />improvements including the expansion and protection.
<br />Design was to also develop a wave protection system to limit
<br />exposure of the marina from major storm events and prevent
<br />future damage. Plan included the increase of the marine
<br />float dock and attenuation structures by over 100 percent,
<br />expansion of berthing by 50 percent and dredging 3,300 cys to
<br />accommodate floating concrete wave attenuation units.
<br />Harwich Saquatucket Harbor Marina, Town of Harwich,
<br />MA: Project Manager for the investigation, design, permitting
<br />and construction management of Saquatucket Marina. The
<br />project included study and design of ADA compliant access to
<br />ferry and other passenger vessels over 40 feet that utilize the
<br />marina for passenger services. GEI performed a review of the
<br />existing passenger vessel operations, developed the design
<br />criteria and prepared conceptual layouts for the vessel berths
<br />and the access routes. The project also included dredging
<br />of the entire harbor. GEI provided permitting services for
<br />the marina reconstruction and dredging. The design of the
<br />replacement marina was completed and construction was
<br />completed in 2016.
<br />Conley Berth 12 Dredging, MASSPORT, South Boston,
<br />MA: Project Manager oversaw the investigation and design
<br />emergency dredging of Berth 12 to accommodate full draft
<br />container vessels. Effort included immediate assessment
<br />of actual physical berth depths to vessel requirements,
<br />development of proposed dredging plan, assist in obtainment
<br />of regulatory approvals including coordination with the
<br />USACE for use of CAD cells for disposal and preparation of
<br />construction documents for bidding. Services included use of
<br />multi-beam hydrographic surveys for accurate determination
<br />of existing conditions and dredge volumes. Dredge Cost:
<br />$483,500
<br />Black Falcon Cruise Ship Terminal, MASSPORT South
<br />Boston, MA: Project Manager for the investigation and
<br />design of dredging at Black Falcon Cruise Ship Terminal to
<br />accommodate full draft for the Queen Mary II. Effort included
<br />immediate assessment of actual physical berth depths to
<br />vessel requirements, development of proposed dredging plan,
<br />assist in obtainment of regulatory approvals and preparation
<br />of construction documents for bidding. The original strategy
<br />for the project was coordination with US Army Corps for CAD
<br />Cell disposal but testing showed sediments with elevated
<br />concentrations of PCBs and all material was processed and
<br />disposed upland. Effort included separation of hazardous
<br />material found from contaminated dredge materials. Services
<br />included use of multi-beam hydrographic surveys for accurate
<br />determination of existing conditions and dredge volumes.
<br />Town-Wide Dredge & Disposal Permits, Town of Harwich,
<br />MA: As Project Manager, worked with the Town of Harwich to
<br />assist them in obtaining the regulatory approvals for Town-
<br />Wide Dredging and Disposal of their harbors and channels
<br />which required constant maintenance dredging. Project
<br />areas to include Herring River, Wychmere Harbor Channel,
<br />Saquatucket Harbor Channel and Harbor, Allen Harbor
<br />Channel, Round Cove Channel. In addition, review and
<br />assessment of disposal areas to comprise over 20,000 linear
<br />feet of public and private beaches for beach renourishment.
<br />Pleasant Bay Dredging Project, Town of Chatham, MA:
<br />Project Manager. GEI was selected by the Town of Chatham
<br />to assist them in obtaining the regulatory approvals for the
<br />dredging of Pleasant Bay which is in an ACEC. This required
<br />modification to state regulation (310 CMR 9.40), which
<br />prohibits improvement dredging in state–designated ACECs.
<br />The need for improvement dredging at this location was
<br />coordinated and supported by state officials and the state
<br />regulations were revised to now allow limited improvement
<br />dredging to preserve traditional navigation within an ACEC.
<br />The proposed dredging limits were to be based on “zone-
<br />limits” which takes into account the natural channel and
<br />shoaling patterns to limit the dredging required and the
<br />potential impacts to resource areas.
<br />Georges Island, Boston, MA: As Project Manager was
<br />responsible for investigation of the existing pier structures and
<br />seawalls on Georges Island which is part of the Boston Harbor
<br />Islands National Park. The investigation included above
<br />and below water inspection of the timber piers and analysis
<br />to determine remaining load capacities. Effort included
<br />development of multi vessel berthing facilities to suit the
<br />many ferries, charter boats and work boats visiting the island.
