About this file

This document is a dock inspection report for the Margaret Bay Remote Dock located in the Ketchikan-Misty Ranger District of the Tongass National Forest in Southeast Alaska. The report was prepared by CONSOR Engineers, LLC in October 2020 under contract with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service. The inspection evaluated the overall condition of the remote dock facility, including the access trestle, gangway, floating main dock, and floating finger dock, and provided detailed findings and repair recommendations. Key issues identified include insufficient dock floatation, damaged dock framing and wale, missing or deteriorated pile guides and mooring hardware, and lack of cathodic protection for the steel pile structures. The report assigns priority repair recommendations, ranging from high priority safety and structural issues to lower priority convenience and aesthetic improvements. This inspection report provides the documented field information to support future rehabilitation and repair design efforts for this remote dock facility.

The related federal contract opportunity is for the Tongass Docks and Marine Infrastructure Repairs project, specifically for the KMRD Remote Dock facilities, which include the Margaret Bay Remote Dock. The purpose is to repair various elements of these three remote dock facilities, including piles, abutments, gangways, mooring hardware, finger docks, and safety upgrades. The work may include piling repair, addressing dock floatation, installing cathodic protection, replacing dock components, installing non-slip surfaces, and improving the fender system. This project is being procured by the USDA Forest Service.

1 SCOPE OF WORK AND INSPECTION PROCEDURE

In October 2020, CONSOR Engineers, LLC performed inspections of 16 Forest Service dock facilities in

Southeast Alaska. These inspections were performed with the assistance of Mott MacDonald and R&M

Engineering for SCJ Alliance, under contract to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).

The purpose of these inspections was to document and assess the dock facility's existing condition, develop rehabilitation/repair recommendations, and provide the documented field information for the future rehabilitation/repair engineering design and contractor bidding phases. The services performed included a Repair Design Inspection of the accessible underwater and above water structural elements composing the facilities and preparation of inspection reports summarizing the findings and repair recommendations. All inspections were performed in accordance with ASCE MOP 130: Waterfront

Facilities Inspection and Assessment.

The dock facilities were inspected by a crew of five inspectors, led by a Professional Engineer familiar with inspection of waterfront facilities. The docks were accessed by boat, and the above water inspection was performed using various hand tools, measuring devices, and cameras. The underwater inspection was performed using tethered SCUBA with hardwire communications equipment, using various hand tools, an ultrasonic thickness measuring gauge, bathycorrometer, and cameras.

2 DEFINITIONS, RATING CRITERIA, AND TERMINOLOGY

The conditions of the dock facility and structural systems are rated in accordance with MOP 130 according to the Condition Assessment Rating below. Additionally, the inspected structural elements are assigned damage ratings from Minor to Severe, shown in Appendix A.

CONDITION ASSESSMENT RATINGS

6 – Good No visible damage or only minor damage noted. Structural elements may show very minor deterioration, but no overstressing observed. No repairs are required.

5 – Satisfactory Limited minor to moderate defects or deterioration observed but no overstressing observed. No repairs are required.

4 – Fair All primary structural elements are sound but minor to moderate defects or deterioration observed. Localized areas of moderate to advanced deterioration may be present but do not significantly reduce the load-bearing capacity of the structure.

Repairs are recommended, but the priority of the recommended repairs is low.

3 – Poor Advanced deterioration or overstressing observed on widespread portions of the structure but does not significantly reduce the load-bearing capacity of the structure.

Repairs may need to be carried out with moderate urgency.

2 – Serious Advanced deterioration, overstressing, or breakage may have significantly affected the load-bearing capacity of primary structural components. Local failures are possible and loading restrictions may be necessary. Repairs may need to be carried out on a high-priority basis with urgency.

1 – Critical Very advanced deterioration, overstressing, or breakage has resulted in localized failure(s) of primary structural components. More widespread failures are possible or likely to occur, and load restrictions should be implemented as necessary. Repairs may need to be carried out on a very high-priority basis with strong urgency.

3 FACILITY DESCRIPTION

The facility at Margaret Bay includes a steel pipe pile-supported access trestle, gangway, floating main dock, and floating finger dock.

The floating main dock is a timber frame with plastic coated foam floatation secured by four steel pipe guide piles, rigidly connected at the top with steel pipes of the same dimension. The perimeter of the dock has a timber curb on timber chocks, with various mooring hardware mounted to the curb. The fender system consists of rubber tires attached on all faces of the dock.

The floating finger dock is a timber frame with timber log floatation secured by two steel pipe guide piles. There is no curb present on the dock and the mooring hardware is connected directly to the deck.

The fender system consists of rubber tires attached on the inshore, offshore, and left faces of the dock.

The general layout of the facility is shown below.

Figure 1: General Layout

Access to the dock is provided by a steel gangway connected to the access trestle.

The access trestle is 62 ft long x 6 ft wide with a 42 in. high handrail. The access trestle is supported by four bents, each consisting of two steel pipe piles with a W8x31 steel pile cap. The bents support timber stringers with a timber deck and timber handrail.

The steel gangway is 65 ft long x 63 in. wide with a 42 in. high handrail and top and bottom transition plates. The gangway surface is constructed of metal grating with 30 in. long x 3/4 in. square stock treads on the left half. The gangway is connected to the access trestle by pin and hanger assemblies and supported by the dock with a skid-style landing consisting of steel channels without UHMW (ultra-high molecular weight) material.

The water depths at the site vary from 14.3 ft to 29.5 ft relative to Mean Lower Low Water and are referenced to Tide Station 9450460 Ketchikan, AK.

This facility is typically used by recreational boaters for pedestrian access to the shore. There were six vessels present at the time of inspection, varying from 10 ft to 50 ft in overall length. There were no Forest

Service barges present at the time of inspection.

Drawings and photos are presented in Appendix B: Facility Sketches and Appendix C: Photos, respectively.

4 INSPECTION FINDINGS

4.1 GENERAL INSPECTION FINDINGS

Overall, the facility is in fair condition, primarily due to damage to the floating finger dock wale and insufficient floatation of both the main and finger dock. Detailed inspection findings for the individual structural components are presented below.

4.2 CATHODIC PROTECTION SYSTEM

There was no cathodic protection system observed at the site. Pile thickness and cathodic potential measurements are presented in Section 4.6 Guide Piles.

4.3 ACCESS TRESTLE

The access trestle is in satisfactory condition with limited minor deficiencies described below.

HANDRAIL

No deficiencies were observed on the timber handrail at the time of inspection. There is more than 4 in.

of clear space between intermediate rails.

DECK

No deficiencies were observed on the timber deck planks at the time of inspection. The timber decking has minor algae growth on the bottom.

FRAMING

The trestle framing exhibits minor rot and algae growth on the bottom of the stringers.

STEEL PILE CAPS

No deficiencies were observed at the time of inspection.

STEEL PIPE PILES AND TIMBER BRACING

The piles exhibited minor surface corrosion. The offshore pile bent has timber cross braces with no observed deficiencies at the time of inspection.

4.4 PIN AND HANGER SYSTEM

The pin and hanger system is in satisfactory condition with minor surface corrosion. There is no redundant safety system.

4.5 GANGWAY

The gangway, including the top and bottom transition plates, is in satisfactory condition. There is no

UHMW material on the gangway landing skid plates and there is more than 4 in. of clear space between the intermediate rails.

4.6 GUIDE PILES

The guide piles are in satisfactory condition with no significant deficiencies noted at the time of inspection. The trestle piles are 12.9 in. diameter and 1/2 in. thick, and the dock piles are 16.2 in. diameter and 1/2 in. thick. All piles exhibit surface corrosion with minor section loss. The piles at trestle Bents 1 and

2 are dry at low tide. Thickness measurements are provided in the table below (10% of piles were required to be measured).

4.7 PILE GUIDES

The pile guides are in fair condition. Three of the pile guides on the main dock have missing or detached

UHMW material. The pile guides on the finger dock are too large and have no UHMW material, resulting in the dock rubbing on the pile causing abrasion of the timber.

4.8 DOCKS

The docks are in fair condition, primarily due to damage to the floating finger dock wale and insufficient floatation of both the main and finger dock. All underwater portions of the docks exhibited heavy marine growth.

The transition plate between the main dock and finger dock consists of a steel plate connected to the finger dock with two hinges. One of the hinge connections has failed and the other connection is loose.

4.8.1 Main Dock

FLOATS

The float material is plastic encased foam and is located uniformly throughout the footprint of the float.

The freeboard of the float varies from 9.5 in. to 14 in. resulting in a non-level deck surface that is typically lower at the gangway landing.

FRAMING

No deficiencies were observed at the time of inspection. The configuration of the framing system is shown in the drawings in Appendix B.

DECKING

The decking consists of 11.5 in. x 3 in. timber planks. There are three burn holes in the deck up to 7 in. x 7

in. x 3 in. deep. The deck has vegetation and algae growth concentrated around the pile guides, corners, and edges of the float. There is a T-shaped strip of composite walking surface leading from the gangway landing to the offshore face.

CURB

The curb consists of 6 in. x 6 in. timbers supported on chocks of the same dimensions spaced at varying intervals. The curbs have minor deterioration and one 4 ft long broken section.

MOORING HARDWARE

The mooring hardware consists of various sized cleats connected to the curb. There are nine loose cleats and three missing or broken cleats.

FENDER SYSTEM

There are intermittently placed tires around the perimeter of the dock with an 8 ft section of missing tires.

4.8.2 Finger Dock

FLOATS

The float material is 12 in. diameter logs. The freeboard of the float varies from 5 in. to 15 in resulting in a non-level deck surface and is typically lower at the left end.

FRAMING

The timber framing system exhibits heavy marine growth and the inshore wale is cut in two locations to fit the pile guides. The configuration of the framing system is shown in the drawings in Appendix B.

DECKING

The decking consists of 11.5 in. x 1.5 in. timber planks with minor deterioration due to vegetation and algae throughout. There are two deck planks that are unsupported by the frame in one location. The pile guides are too large for the piles and the deck and framing has been cut to fit the guides. Due to the overly large guides, the left guide pile rubs on the dock and has abraded some of the decking and loosened a cleat. The offshore left corner of the finger dock has asphalt roofing shingles overlaying the deck planks.

CURB

No curb is present on the finger dock.

MOORING HARDWARE

The mooring hardware consists of 8 in. cleats connected to the timber deck planks. There are eight loose cleats and three missing or broken cleats.

FENDER SYSTEM

There are intermittently placed tires on the left, offshore, and half the inshore face of the dock.

4.9 SAFETY LADDER

There is no safety ladder present at the site presenting a hazard in the event of a fall.
