Document Description
The proposed project involves repair of the Embarcadero wharf and promenade located just north of Navy Pier in the City of San Diego. The existing wharf wall consists of a concrete pile cap, sheet pile wall, concrete wales, tie back system, relieving platform, and connecting hardware. Additionally, electric conduit and sewer line are attached to the face of the wall. The promenade on top of the wall is bounded by railing, and the surface consists of pavers over two inches of sand.
On March 31, 2016 a vessel collided into the Embarcadero wharf, which caused structural damage to the concrete sheet piles, pile cap, wales, utilities, handrails, and promenade. The damaged area spans a footprint of approximately 16 feet long by 12 feet wide and is currently barricaded for public safety. Urgent repairs are necessary to secure the wharf's structural integrity, resume its function, and provide a safe promenade for the public.
