PROJECT: Emergency Wharf Repair at North Embarcadero
CONTRACTOR: R.E. Staite Engineering
OWNER: Port of San Diego
STRUCTURAL ENGINEER: Moffatt & Nichol
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This emergency project repaired the damage caused by the
Hornblower docking incident on March 31, 2016. The above and below water/below grade
inspection work, engineering design, demolition, and construction were executed over a
60-day period. The scope of work included temporary traffic control and the construction
of a pedestrian walkway, removal of 1,200 square foot of pavers, and demolishing 30 feet
of damaged concrete cap, wall and wale over water. Innovations included in-situ tie-rod
testing, thereby minimizing excavation and enabling restoration of the original steel tie
rods bent by the vessel impact.
