Marina Expansion, Naval Training Center

San Diego, CA

A new marina facility was designed to include a boat launch pier and crane; an access pier and floating dock marina; shoreline protection; a marina support building; utilities; and site improvements such as paved parking, walks and landscaping. NCI’s services included the preparation of conceptual designs; engineering design studies; final engineering design; and construction drawings, specifications, cost estimates and bid documents for a timber floating dock system and two concrete pier structures. The two pier structures were designed utilizing prestressed concrete piling, poured-in-place reinforced concrete pile caps, and precast double-”T” beam/deck systems. NCI performed detailed life cycle cost comparisons of alternative designs during the conceptual design phase of work. NCI also provided construction support services.

San Leandro Marina Replacement

San Leandro, CA

This project included the replacement of an existing timber floating dock system with a 250-berth concrete floating dock system, dredging, and all shoreside utilities and landscape improvements. NCI prepared the layout, performed the design, and prepared the final drawings, specifications, contract documents, and cost estimate for the replacement of the marina facilities. These facilities consisted of concrete berths, prestressed concrete piles, aluminum gangways, and concrete approach piers. Work involved extensive coordination with permitting agencies, along with preparation of a long-range operational dredge plan. NCI also performed full-time construction management and resident field inspection.
