Northport Inland Dock Facility Rehabilitation

BURK-KLEINPETER, INC. was contracted by the Alabama State Docks to design and provide construction administration and inspection for the repair, rehabilitation, and renovation of the Northport Inland Dock Facility in Northport, Alabama.

The approximately 40-year old dock facility needed renovation to meet modern dock requirements.

BKI increased the load-carrying capacity of the dock from a 10-ton coil to a 40-ton coil by designing a new foundation and deck system to meet modern dock requirements for better material handling.

Rehabilitation of the dock structure consisted of reinforced concrete deck supported by reinforced concrete bent caps poured monolithic, consisting of 503 cubic yards.

The total construction cost for this project was approximately $700,000.
