The project will involve upgrades to the pier's utility systems and replacement of some of its structural components. Improvements to the utility systems will include installing a fire protection line that will be separate from the domestic water line, as well as repairing and extending the existing sanitary sewer line. The structural repairs will entail the replacement of six stringers, which are the horizontal timber beams that support the decking on top of the pier.
According to a port spokesperson, the structural work will occur in the evenings to minimize inconvenience to pier visitors. During this phase of the project, the pier will be closed from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m.
Elken Contracting Inc. has been chosen to handle the repairs for the Unified Port of San Diego. Slated for an August 2003 completion, the project will incur a cost of $223,222.
