This project included aproximately 800 linear feet of shoreline riprap along with an additional 800 linear feet of 8" cellular confinement material as shoreline erosion stabilization, inside Sebastian Inlet State Park South.

The cellular material had to be anchored at the top by digging a 2' trench the entire 800LF. Throughout, this material was anchored using tendons and anchor hooks which were secured into the sand. It was then filled with limerock stone and seeded.

Upon first inspection of the site, it was evident that as water moved through Turkey Creek, sand was washed out from under the concrete embankment due to the shallow embedment of the retaining walls.

Both the East and West embankments of Malabar Bridge over Turkey creek needed to be repaired to prevent failure of the bridge.

Repairing these embankments included the use of sectional barges, which had to be pushed through narrow Turkey Creek. These barges were used as working platforms for both the utilization of equipment and the transportation of rip rap material. 

Rip rap was hand placed waterword of the retaining walls. The embankments were cleared of existing broken and failed concrete. Fill material was brought in and compacted to fill the existing voids. The existing concrete embankments were patched using concrete filled fabric.

This project included the excavation of three seperate mitigation areas where sedimentary sand had built up. When completed, the excavated areas allow water to flow into the existing tidal ponds and create a habitat both functional to wildlife and scenic for visitors. Aquatic vegitation was also planted to prevent erosion and to make the beach more aesthetic.

This project also included the construction of two seawall groins, each approximately 200 feet long. These groins were constructed to prevent further erosion of near 1,000 feet of shoreline. This project also restabilized the beach, by placing over 9000 cubic yards of beach sand between the two seawall groins.

Cypress Point Park started in the beginnning of April and was finished September 2008.

This project included the demolition and re-construction of an existing Heavy Timber Vehicular Bridge. This bridge is the only access to the beach area located in the back of the park.

After a through investigation, the large support beams under the decking were rotting, some were replaced while others were secured with a double pressure treated paralam.

This project was conpleted in January 2009

This project includes clearing of the existing land for an asphalt drive and parking area, which is boat trailer accessable.

Special caution was taken to save 100+ year old oak trees. These old oaks help to make up the character of the park. To save these trees, alteration were made to the existing plans. These alterations allowed for shifting of the asphalt drive so there was no disturbance to the roots.

This project also includes Construct Co Inc.'s 'Eco Boat Ramp System' which involves a concrete v-grooved ramp with anti-scouring rip rap. Installation of new aluminum fixed docks, an aluminum seawall system and drainage plan.
