Dinner Key Marina- Pier 3 Emergency Repairs, Coconut Grove, Florida Hurricane Wilma damaged a section of Pier 3 at Dinner Key Marina in November, 2005. Coastal Systems assessed the damaged section of pier with engineer-divers, and repairs were designed. The repairs consisted of new 14-inch concrete piling driven to support concrete caps supporting concrete deck slabs. Fiberglass grating was specified to span the utility chase and match the existing Pier 3 structural configuration. Marina utilities were designed to restore service to the 3 slips, including fire protection, shore power and domestic water. The sewage pump-out hydrants were also replaced for connection into the existing vacuum system. Environmental permits were obtained from Miami-Dade DERM, and a Nationwide Permit was obtained from the Corps of Engineers. The repairs qualified for an exemption from the Florida DEP. Coastal Systems also assisted the City by providing technical documentation for the FEMA reimbursement process. Construction plans and specifications were prepared and incorporated into the City's bidding documents. After the construction contract was awarded, Coastal Systems provided construction administration services. The services included special inspection services in accordance with the Florida Uniform Building Code for the piling installation and reinforced concrete. Reports were prepared and processed through the City Building Department.
