Underwater Facilities Inspections and Assessments at Naval Amphibious Base, Coronado, California.

Abstract

An inspection was made of certain facilities at the Naval Amphibious Base, Coronado (San Diego), California during the period August 6 to August 10, 1984. The principal object of the inspection was to provide that quality of inspection that would allow the engineer inspector/divers to assess the general physical condition of the Bulkheads and piling of the Piers inspected. Each facility was inspected using non-destructive techniques. Typical and critical elements were photographed. The facilities inpected and the recommendations regarding each of them are as follows: Fuel Pier; Piers 1-15 and Bridge; Mammal Pier; Bulkheads 1 and 2; and Marina 1231. The outer piles of the fixed access Pier have been covered with either concrete jackets or plastic wrapping. These covers do not extend to the mudline in all cases leaving bare wood exposed to borer attack. These exposed areas should be covered.
