BRIEF DESCRIPTION
USACE Pickwick Lock and Dam Mooring Cell Replacement Project
Project Overview The project involved demolishing and constructing a new mooring cell at Pickwick Lock and Dam. The work included removing an existing mooring cell and installing a new one of the exact dimensions within the original footprint.
Scope of Work
Demolition:
- Aggregate Removal: Remove and properly store the aggregate from the existing mooring cell.
- Sheet Pile Removal: Dismantle and remove existing sheet piles associated with the old mooring cell.
- Existing Cell Removal: Complete dismantling and removing the old mooring cell structure.
Construction:
- New Mooring Cell Installation: Construct a new mooring cell with a diameter of 30.5 feet and a height of 60 feet, maintaining the same footprint as the demolished cell.
- Reinstallation of Sheet Piles: Install new sheet piles as part of the new mooring cell construction process.
Safety and Planning:
- Site Safety and Health Officer (SSHO): TITAN provided an SSHO to oversee safety measures and ensure compliance with health and safety regulations throughout the project.
- Preconstruction Plans: TITAN developed and provided detailed preconstruction plans to guide the demolition and construction processes, ensuring all activities were conducted efficiently and safely.
Key Considerations
- Safety Compliance: Ensured adherence to safety regulations with the presence of an SSHO, addressing potential hazards and implementing safety protocols.
- Environmental Protection: Managed and stored materials appropriately to minimize environmental impact and comply with relevant regulations.
- Project Coordination: Coordinated demolition and construction activities to ensure a smooth transition between the removal of the old cell and the installation of the new one.
Project Benefits
- Improved Infrastructure: The new mooring cell will enhance the functionality and durability of the mooring system at Pickwick Lock and Dam.
- Safety and Efficiency: Effective project planning and safety management contribute to the successful completion of the project with minimal disruptions and risks.
TITAN’s involvement in this project ensured that both demolition and construction activities were executed with high standards of safety and efficiency, resulting in the successful replacement of the mooring cell.
