Description
Developed by Berger/Abam Engineers Inc. Federal Way, Wash., the 50-ft by 100-ft section is a test for a new 1,300-ft-long floating, double-decked pier, dubbed MHP. It was constructed over eight months in nearby Tacoma by Concrete Technology Corp. for the Naval Facilities Engineering Service Center. The pier is intended to be repair-free for 100 years, twice as long as a typical pier.
