North cargo pier upgrades complete at Port Canaveral

Port Canaveral has completed, ahead of schedule, an eight-month modernisation project to renovate its north cargo piers 1 and 2.

Construction included new concrete decking, marine fenders, bollards and concrete curbs. 

The reconstruction effort involved removing and replacing approximately 4,120m² of concrete pier deck, repairing existing concrete pile caps, and applying a cathodic protection system, which prolongs the lifespan of the steel reinforcement. 

The existing concrete pier deck was repaired by mechanically removing and replacing an additional 1,545m² of concrete topping, installing new marine fenders, bollards and concrete curbs. 

New potable water piping, water station manifolds and concrete enclosures were also installed.
