Summary

This document is a set of design drawings and specifications for the Q-Area Fishing Pier at Naval Station Norfolk, Virginia, prepared by the Navy Public Works Center Design Division. The drawings comprise 13 sheets and include comprehensive civil, structural, electrical, and mechanical design details for a public fishing pier facility extending into Willoughby Bay.

The pier is approximately 814 feet long with a 40-foot-wide deck structure supported by precast concrete double-tee sections and cast-in-place concrete elements. Key structural components include precast prestressed concrete pilings (48-inch and 36-inch diameter), driven sheet pilings for approach sections, and reinforced concrete foundations. The design incorporates expansion joints, ramps with grades up to 1/20, and a gazebo shelter structure at the head of the pier. The deck features concrete railings with handrail systems meeting safety standards, drainage provisions with slope details, and accessible design for public use. Electrical infrastructure includes a 120/240V three-phase service with pole-mounted lighting (both Type A pier lights and Type B mini prismatic gazebo lights), underground and overhead conduit systems, cable distribution schedules, and a navigational obstruction light (solar powered). Supporting facilities include a direct buried conduit system, equipment support structure for electrical service, and detailed specifications for all materials including concrete (minimum 3,500 PSI), reinforcing steel, galvanized hardware, and painted structural components. The hydrographic survey data shows water depths ranging from approximately 10 to 13 feet in the approach channel, with noted tidal datums and existing elevations referenced to the Naval Station datum (elevation 0.00).
