Dock owner retained AMI Consulting Engineers to inspect the dock facility and design facility repairs and upgrades. AMI assisted in obtaining grant money from the Wisconsin Harbor Assistance Program as well as all permitting required. AMI Consulting Engineers performed the construction management for the project. All designs required approval by several government agencies including WisDOT and the Wisconsin DNR.
AMI Consulting Engineers performed underwater inspections and remediation designs of a pier for a handling facility on the James River in New Port News, Virginia. The underwater investigations included ultrasonic steel thickness testing, coating assessment, and safely managing our inspections around a busy shipping schedule. Remediation engineering included sheet pile cell stabilization, dolphin repairs, and underwater coating design.
A new sheetpile dock wall was installed to replace the previous degraded dock wall. A different section of the existing sheet pile wall, that was still structurally sound, had a coating applied for protection against corrosion. This coating was applied below the water line using a mobile cofferdam. AMI provided structural design for the dock wall and cofferdam as well as project management and grant procurement assistance for the Wisconsin Harbor Assistance Grant.
