Document Description
Demolition of an existing wooden deck and installation of a vinyl seawall. The wooden deck demolition is necessary to facilitate access to the designated work area for the seawall. The seawall will measure 105-linear feet with a height of 5 feet. The area behind the seawall (land-side) will be backfilled with approximately 30 cubic-yards of lightweight drain rock. The seawall’s structural integrity will be reinforced with a 200-linear foot 4-in x 4-in waler, supported by fourteen 4” piles, secured with fourteen earth anchors along the seawall’s length. If water levels permit at the time of construction, a barge will be utilized to transport materials. The 4” steel piles will be driven to the engineered specifications using a pneumatic hammer and air compressor that will be staged on the property’s driveway. Access to the project site will be through the property’s backyard, which will serve as the main staging area. Due to limited access for heavy equipment, no tracked equipment will be used. The selected materials enable the completion of the work without the need for heavy machinery. Construction will occur within the October 15 to December 31 work window. Tules are not present within or adjacent to the project area.
