Condition Survey Inspection of Red Hook Wharf<br />

<strong>Moffatt</strong> & <strong>Nichol</strong> was retained to perform a condition survey of the above- <strong>and</strong> below-water elements of the Red Hook<br />

wharf <strong>and</strong> bulkhead. Three timber-<strong>and</strong>-steel pile wharves, some with concrete pile extensions, <strong>and</strong> a steel sheet pile<br />

bulkhead were inspected. An ultrasonic thickness meter was used to measure corrosion among steel elements; calipers<br />

<strong>and</strong> flexible tape were used to determine section loss among timber elements. Soundings were taken with a hammer to<br />

identify defective concrete. <strong>Moffatt</strong> & <strong>Nichol</strong> prepared a report that categorized inspection findings by extent of deterioration<br />

<strong>and</strong> priority of repair. It also included plans indicating the location of deficiencies.<br />
