The bottom anchor intersects the outer face of the sheetpile at EL. 440.0 and extends into bedrock at a 35 degree angle. The bottom anchor system shall withstand a 204.15 kip tensile load. There are at least 105 - 2.5" diameter 110 ft long rock anchors that will have a bonded length of 36 ft. The top anchor intersects the outer face of the sheetpile at EL. 450.0 and extends into bedrock at a 30 degree angle. The top anchor system shall withstand a 76.8 kip tensile load. The installation of at least 30 - 1.5" diameter 120 ft long rock anchors that will have a bonded length of 14 ft. Both of these rock anchors systems are to be post tensioned after the grout has cured. The remaining top anchors system will be installed at EL 450.00 and is attached to a deadman anchor.
Wales will be attached to the anchors and wale sections will be built up members. Prior to installing the wales, wale support brackets are installed by underwater welding for the bottom elevation only. The wale support brackets for the top anchor will be installed just below the top anchor. Fenders are to be fastened to the wales to provide a rubbing surface for vessels. Checkposts will be installed with additional anchors. The remaining space that is between the existing wall and the newly installed wall will be filled with concrete to the height of the existing wall. The remaining fill will be sand that is topped with a layer of crushed rock with fines.
There is the potential for additional site work, such as, dredging the boat slip after the wall is installed and site grading on the land side of the wall. Electrical receptacles will be installed at various location along the wall.
This will be a construction contract to be constructed during the spring/summer of 2018. Construction will take place in the wet, with work anticipated to be performed from a floating plant. It is expected that divers will be necessary to support anchor installation.
