REPAIR DOUBLE BITT, ROMEO WHARF, APRA HARBOR
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
This Design-Build project, located on Naval Base, Guam at Romeo Wharf in Apra Harbor, consisted of the replacement of a double bitt mooring bollard with associated civil and structural renovations to include:
ü Removal of the existing cast iron bollard and installation of a new double bitt bollard;
ü Repair of the existing concrete bulkhead and cap;
ü Underwater repair (patching) of the deteriorating existing sheet piles;
ü Installation of new concrete grade beam and restoration of asphalt paving;
ü Spall and crack repairs on the existing pile cap rail.
Significant Challenges & Solutions Provided
An incorrect template furnished by the manufacturer resulted in anchor bolt configuration for a different bollard. BCC initiated work on an adaptor plate that allowed for the bollard to be installed and used by the Navy while the manufacturer produced an alternate bollard.
