Joint Effort Rapid Response Minimizes Downtime During Fuel Oil Dock Replacement
Increased marine borer activity in urban waters as a result of recent clean-up efforts has caused major economic and safety impacts on old waterfront structures. Significant portions of these structures were built on timber piles when there was little or no risk of marine borer attack. Many of these structures are still in use today. This paper depicts the inspection, evaluation, partial collapse as a result of marine borer attack, and subsequent replacement of a 193 meter long timber pile supported low-level relieving platform in New York Harbor. The example is particularly important because the critical condition of the dock was assessed and documented by an inspection team of professional engineers and engineer-divers prior to the collapse. Shortly after the submittal of the inspection report to the client, one-third of the dock collapsed.
