The shore-tie pedestals were manufactured utilizing<br />
marine grade aluminum for the enclosures. The<br />
enclosures are configured with three parts, the<br />
main support post <strong>and</strong> two meter/shore-tie power<br />
heads.<br />
The main post is a nominal 8 inches x 10 inches<br />
cross sectional dimension <strong>and</strong> encloses the terminal<br />
lugs for the feeder cables. The power is circuited<br />
from these terminal lugs to each power head meter.<br />
Within the power heads, the utility meter is<br />
circuited to protecting circuit breakers <strong>and</strong> shoretie<br />
receptacles. All <strong>of</strong> the circuit breakers were<br />
originally rated for 20 amperes while the<br />
receptacles were rated for 30 amperes. Some<br />
devices along the diagonal Head Walk have been<br />
replaced with higher rated units.<br />
The meters are utility grade, 4 jaw meters suitable<br />
for revenue reading.<br />
The pedestals are fastened to both the float <strong>and</strong> the<br />
bull rail.<br />
Upl<strong>and</strong>s Lighting:<br />
The parking area <strong>and</strong> boat launch ramp are illuminated with street type luminaires mounted on 30 foot<br />
tall tapered steel poles along the shoreline. The luminaires originally utilized 250 watt high pressure<br />
sodium lamps. They are spaced at 130 foot intervals. The poles at the gangway approaches <strong>and</strong> at the<br />
launch ramp include two fixtures each. Each fixture is controlled by an integral photoelectric cell. The<br />
upl<strong>and</strong>s lighting is powered from the transformer at Approach Dock 2 (West end).<br />
Gangway Lighting:<br />
The covered gangways are illuminated with fixtures mounted to the ro<strong>of</strong> structure at a spacing <strong>of</strong> 22 feet<br />
apart. The luminaires are circuited with conductors in steel raceway fed via conductors in flexible<br />
conduit. The circuits originate from the main distribution panels.<br />
The luminaires utilize 50 watt high pressure lamps. Each gangway circuit is controlled by a<br />
photoelectric cell located on the gangway.<br />
Harbor Lighting:<br />
The lighting system is composed <strong>of</strong> luminaires<br />
mounted near the top <strong>of</strong> the pilings with a spacing <strong>of</strong><br />
approximately 80 feet. As noted above, the luminaires<br />
are powered from aerial cables suspended just above.<br />
The luminaires are mounted on a short steel pipe<br />
bracket at elevation 25 ft, nominal. The original<br />
luminaires were manufactured by Thorn utilizing nonmetallic<br />
enclosures. These fixtures have been<br />
subsequently replaced with a street-light type with a<br />
flat cut-<strong>of</strong>f lens. The original luminaires utilized 70<br />
watt high pressure lamps. It appears that the current<br />
