The Municipal Yacht
Harbor Management Corporation selected
Burk-Kleinpeter, Inc. to prepare
conceptual plans and a preliminary
engineering analysis for a 300-slip
expansion and renovation to the
deteriorating 485-slip Municipal Yacht
Harbor.
In an effort
to help the Management Corporation fund
the improvements, BKI applied for and
obtained a loan from the Coastal Energy
Impact Program. As part of the application
for the loan, BKI prepared an
environmental impact assessment of project
alternatives and examined the expanded
facility's market potential.
After obtaining the
loan for the Municipal Yacht Harbor
Management Corporation, BKI designed the
expansion and renovation. The design
included a new layout for the existing
portion of the marina; replacement of
deteriorating catwalks, pilings, and
piers; dredging of the harbor; a new North
pier; utilities, including water and a
sewerage pump-out facility; boat houses;
concrete rip-rap jetties; and sheet pile
bulkheads. BKI also prepared and
coordinated all State and Federal permits,
including a Corps of Engineers Section 404
permit and Louisiana Department of Natural
Resources and Department of Environmental
Quality permits for construction of the
harbor.
