Project Overview
On this Project AMC worked with Landtek to build a 1000 lineal foot commercial marina with 50 plus boat slips. With the use of 325 shoreguard sheathing and 20 foot 10' butt pilings this marina will be functional for decades. This marina includes features like a 30' wave curtain to block incoming waves, boat slips equipped with electric and a personal parking spot. For our 40 plus foot boats each slip comes with a finger dock for easy on and off access. The marina is also handicap accessible with code ramps to 10 foot wide decking. Check out some pictures of the construction below.
OUR PROJECTS
Here is a close look at a sheltered slip. This slip is special due to the fact that it is hidden from any incoming waves. Here is also one of many code ramps made for easy access to the 10 foot wide deck which is perfect for hanging out at after a long day. It also allows room for a dock box and beach chairs.
​Above you will see more pictures of the Amityville marina. Specifically an image of the dredging process. With the 326F and extended boom we are able to achieve a depth of water not naturally obtainable. This allows for easy access to your boat slip at any tide. You can also see the clean design of AMC's bulkhead and how its unmatched.
Project Process
Below the process of one of AMC's bulkheads will be drawn out for you. Step by step we will go through the process of the construction and what it consists of.
Step 1.
Step one consists of meeting with the client and taking measurements of the project. We then will discuss any specific wants from the client and will draw a plan which fits the clients needs and will be environmentally friendly and structerly sound.
Step 2.
Step two begins after a contract is written up containing everything agreed upon. The permitting process will then begin and after all the permits are obtained the material will be ordered and the construction of the bulkhead will begin. This starts with framing out the new bulkhead with 6x6 whalers.
Step 3.
After the bulkhead is framed out then the sheathing is driven in with the pilings. The pilings are then bolted to the 6x6 and tierods are ran from deadman in the ground to the pilings to give extra support to the bulkhead.
Step 4.
After the bulkhead is all bolted together and the deadman are secured and tightened the bulkhead is then backfilled. This is done with a granular fill that is easily drained through. The grade is brought to the top of the bulkhead and is sloped so rain flows around it.
Step 5.
After the bulkhead is backfilled then 6x6' are dug into the ground and bolted to the bulkhead. Cross-braces and stringers are then secured and levelled with a pitch so rain flows off the decking into the bay.
Step 6.
After the framing is built the decking is then laid. The colour choice is totally up to the client. With the use of Trex and Timbertech we can provide you with any colour you'd like. Also since its synthetic it will last much longer then wood and has the option to use hidden fasteners. AMC will suggest to use stone ash due to the fact that this colour seem to stay the coolest on hot days,
