Underwater Facilities Inspections and Assessments at Naval Air Station, Alameda, California.

Abstract

The objective of the Underwater Facility Assessments conducted at the Naval Air Station in Alameda, California is to provide a generalized structural condition report of certain facilities within the Activity. The facilities are Piers 1, 2, 3, 4. Wharves 1 and 2, and the bulkhead at East-West Taxiway. Each facility was inspected by a team of divers from Underwater Construction Team Two using visual/tactile, non-destructive techniques. Typical and critical elements were photo-documented. The conditions of the facilities range from poor to excellent. Pier 3 and Wharves 1 and 2 are in very good condition. No repairs are recommended for these facilities. Piers 2 and 4, and the Bulkhead are generally in good condition but some deterioration was observed and minor repairs are recommended for these facilities. Pier 1 is in poor condition. Presently vehicular traffic is restricted from the pier. We recommend that this restriction remain in force and that dead load on the pier be minimized. It is reported that the pier is due to be repaired or replaced in the mid-1900's.
