Wild Harbor Yacht Club Cofferdam

Cofferdam / By

Cofferdams, also known as watertight walls, provide structure that assist in removing water from an area. Our construction crews have been working on a new boat ramp for the Wild Harbor Yacht Club in Falmouth. The crew installed and dewatered a temporary cofferdam, removed the old ramp, diverted and controlled a steady flow of ground water away from the new ramp, installed the sub grade, and reinstalled the granite curbing. Cofferdams prove to be a safe and efficient solution for a long-term project. 

Marina Pier and Bulkhead Upgrades

Bulkheads / By

Location: Osterville, MA

Completion Date: May, 2017

Project Details: Beacon Marine Construction was hired to perform the work at a local marina in Osterville. We worked closely with the engineer and owner throughout the entire design process to come up with a solution that fit the customer’s needs. The new vinyl bulkhead was installed in a spot that was previously a stone revetment. The work consisted of removing the stone revetment, selective demolition of finger piers, and installation of a new vinyl wall and piers. The new wall  was tied into an existing steel sheetpile wall and required the reconstruction of the finger piers. The sheathing was driven using a vibratory hammer. Deadman were set to add additional load capacity to accommodate cars being parked near the edge of the wall. The project was an overall success and we were able to have the marina ready for he 2017 boating season.

The end result was a beautiful wall that was a valuable addition to the property.
