The steel piles supporting FiT Docks 3, 4, and 5 were installed in the
early 1980s. The piling consists of thin steel hollow pipes filled with
unreinforced concrete. The pile system provided reliable service for
the past 35 years, but corrosion is manifesting within the splash zones
and near the mud line of some piling, compromising the integrity of
the system and requiring the prevention of future corrosion.
Both projects in design
