Abstract
When sediment-related remediation or maintenance is required at developed waterfronts, construction is often necessary below existing overwater structures such as piers, wharves, and docks. Sediment removal and placement of materials (e.g., sand, rock, and capping materials) below existing structures present unique challenges to the permitting, design, and construction phases of a sediment management and remediation project. This paper reviews the various challenges that exist for marine work below existing structures and discusses several methods for accomplishing work in these constrained settings. Additional observations are provided for regulatory permitting considerations and unique quality assurance/quality control methods that apply to marine work below existing structures are presented. Pertinent case studies are described for illustration purposes.
