Scope Of Work
Port Everglades is Florida’s leader for containerized cargo volume and an ideal entry and departure point for products shipped worldwide. The Southport Turning Notch Expansion project is part of the port’s $437.5 million, multi-year expansion plan and will expand the existing deep-water turnaround from 900 ft to 2,400 ft and allow up to five new cargo berths.
A significant portion (1,650-ft) of the new bulkhead construction for the Southport Turning Notch Expansion project included supporting protected Mangrove plantings. Therefore, an alternative support of lateral bulkhead restraint to traditional bulkhead tie rods was required.
Subsurface conditions consisted of 23 ft of fine to medium sands with shell and limestone fragments over 7 ft of porous limestone with layers of sand. Beneath this was 30 ft of medium dense limestone.
