The Baltimore District, Survey/Debris Section is replacing the approximately 50-year old timber pier at Fort McHenry with a pier of a similar footprint but to be made of concrete instead of timber. The new pier is intended to last another 40+ years to service the Survey Vessel CATLETT (60ft survey catamaran) as well as the Debris Vessel Reynolds and her soon to be replacement (~2025).
The full design is being built by Ballard Construction in FY 2024 through a DLA contract with a cost of $5,000,000. All of the funds sought for this project came from the Plant Replacement Improvement Program (PRIP) Revolving Fund.
The overall scope for the project includes the demolition of the existing timber pier, construction of a replacement concrete pier, and landside improvements to provide utilities and an access ramp to the pier.
The design calls for 43 square, precast, prestressed concrete piles with pre-cast pile caps to be installed through the use of a test pile program to confirm the production pile capacity and depth that will safely support the pier design loads.
The project is anticipated to be completed by June 2024.
