Project Grant
Overview
Grant Description
Award Purpose
The project funds the expansion of the Port of Morgan City's dock by adding approximately 1.6 acres of concrete laydown area and building an additional 8,880 square foot wharf relieving platform structure to support a 440 by 40 wharf extension.
The project complements Phase 3A that was funded by the Port and the State of Louisiana and completes all phases of the Port's western dock expansion project.
Activities to be Performed
The project includes two components.
Component 1: Construct an approximately 8,880 square foot wharf relieving platform structure to support an approximately 440 by 40 wharf extension.
The proposed wharf extension will be supported by precast concrete piles and precast concrete capsills.
The wharf deck will be constructed with steel rebar reinforced cast in place structural concrete.
Component 2: Construct approximately 1.6 acres of concrete paved cargo laydown area and associated site infrastructure such as subsurface gravity drainage and utilities.
The existing ground below the laydown area will require soil improvements consisting of a deep soil mixing program below the entire laydown area footprint.
Subsurface gravity drainage is to be installed just north of the proposed bulkhead to drain the paved areas as well as between the existing federal flood protection and edge of the laydown area.
The gravity drainage system will consist of precast concrete drainpipe and precast concrete catch basins.
Pump station outfall pipes will be extended through the proposed bulkhead to discharge into Bayou Boeuf.
