Portage Cove Harbor Expansion

For this Haines Borough project, our construction administration services included on-site civil inspection and marine mammal monitoring.  The $14 million project involved expanding the parking area by placing imported borrow and fill gathered from marine dredging, armoring the fill slope, building a steel wave barrier, replacing moorage pilings, and installing new storm drain systems. Our engineering staff ensured all uplands work was performed per plans, specifications, and permits, while our team of Marine Mammal Observers monitored the area for humpback whales and Steller sea lions during all in-water work to fulfill the requirements of a National Marine Fisheries Service permit.
