Document Description
The project is limited to the installation of a vinyl seawall spanning 84 linear feet, with two (2) 4-foot returns, resulting in a continuous wall of 92 linear feet. The new 6-foot high vinyl wall will be constructed directly in front of an existing cinder block wall. To ensure stability, sixteen (16) steel piles measuring 4 inches in diameter will be driven into the ground, each equipped with an earth anchor. Additionally, a square tube waller will be used to connect and reinforce the wall. The backfilling process will require approximately 37 cubic yards of lightweight drain rock. No native vegetation will be removed as a result of project activities.
