To support the growing operations at Blount Island Marine Terminal, JAXPORT required improvements and expansions of mooring and berthing capabilities for RoRo vessel operations. First, JAXPORT engaged Taylor Engineering to design, permit, and provide construction phase engineering for improvements at Berth 22 to accommodate larger RoRo vessels. The work included design for structural repairs, existing wharf structural analysis, locating and designing one new breasting dolphin and one new mooring dolphin, upgrades to associated fendering and mooring appurtenances, marine utilities engineering, and expanding the berth’s dredged footprint. Then, at Berth 20, Taylor Engineering designed a 1008-foot expansion of the wharf to convert the existing single-berth “L”-wharf into a double-berth “T”-wharf to simultaneously host two RoRo vessels. Both projects included existing structural inspections and assessment, geotechnical investigation, site survey, planning and preliminary design, mooring and berthing analyses, final geotechnical and structural engineering, dredging engineering, utilities engineering, and securing state (FDEP) regulatory and sovereign submerged lands authorizations and federal (USACE) permits. Taylor Engineering prepared construction documents, assisted with bidding, and provided construction phase engineering and onsite inspections.
