Underwater Facilities Inspections and Assessments at Naval Shipyard, Charleston, South Carolina.

Abstract

The objective of the underwater facility assessments is to provide a generalized structural condition report of designated facilities within the activity. These facilities are Piers DELTA, HOTEL, and JULIET. Each facility was inspected by a team of engineer/divers using a combination of visual/tactile and ultrasonic techniques. Critical elements were photo-documented. All three piers exhibited conditions which were consistent with their ages. The concrete piles in Pier DELTA were cracked and spalled in some areas, and a number of the steel piles in all three piers had undergone a severe amount of metal loss due to corrosion.
