Opportunity text
The Port of Morgan Citys Western Dock Expansion in total will consist of 2.88 acres of concrete laydown and transit area and 447 ft x 80 ft of pile supported concrete wharf. The proposed wharf will be supported by 18 precast concrete piles and precast concrete capsills. The wharf deck will be constructed with steel rebar reinforced cast in place structural concrete at 22 thick. A timber fendering system composed of 12 treated timber piles, 12x12 treated timber whalers, and galvanized hardware. An approximately 900 ft cantilevered steel sheet pile bulkhead will be installed along the Northern edge of the proposed Wharf and will delineate between the Wharf and proposed concrete laydown area. The existing ground below the laydown area will require soil improvements in order to handle the anticipated traffic, equipment, and storage loadings. These improvements will consist of a deep soil mixing program below the entire laydown area footprint to Elevation -70.0 to strengthen the existing in situ soils. Once improved, additional granular material (river sand) will be hauled and compacted in to raise the existing ground approximately 4-5 feet. 12 of Limestone base course will then be installed as the final layer to support the 16 steel rebar reinforced cast in place concrete for the laydown/transit area. Subsurface gravity drainage is to be installed just North of the proposed bulkhead to drain the paved areas, as well as between the existing federal flood protection and edge of the laydown area. The gravity drainage system will consist of approximately 1700 ft of precast concrete drainpipe and 16 precast concrete catch basins. Finally, 2 steel pump station outfall pipes will be extended through the proposed bulkhead. Each extension is approximately 150 ft. This will allow for the existing pump station to discharge into Bayou Boeuf.
