Construction and Rehabilitation History 



Construction of a 1 ,509-ft-long solid, concrete-pile breakwater 

 (Figure 14) was completed. In addition, two segmented breakwaters 

 (28-ft solid walls with 6-ft openings) were constructed. These 

 structures were 150 and 258 ft long and were built along Pier 45 

 (Figure 14). The solid sections of the segmented breakwaters also 

 were constructed with precast concrete piles. The crest el of all 

 three breakwaters was +12 ft mllw. The segmented structures were 

 constructed to provide wave protection against storm waves from 

 northeast and east-northeast and yet permit tidal currents to pass 

 through for flushing of the harbor. The structures were model 

 tested (Bottin, Sargent, Mize 1985) prior to construction.
