The walkway at Seal Cove posed a challenge as the existing structure had rusted away and required full replacement. There was also a narrow access road and the walkway was suspended on the side of a cliff. Budget limitations for the replacement were also a challenge. The engineers concept was to remove paint and refinish the existing steel.

How this challenge was overcome: Bowman Constructors mantainted security fencing and concrete baracades isolating the work in progress. After seeing the existing site, Bowman proposed full galvanization and full replacement of all components. This also elimated the enviornmental hazards of painting the existing structure.

Type of Structure: Wooden pier with concrete deck

The existing pier was severely deterorated. Tidle work was required, some of the replacement work was below low tide elevations.

Bowman Constructors engineered a concrete placement method using sheeting and temporary pumps to place concrete mud slabs for the new wooden/stone pier structure. Bowman engaged marine barges to accomplish the work.

Type of Structure: Dam

The soil conditions were marginal and the replacement of the dam was scheduled during hurricane season.

Bowman Constructors engineered 3FT diameter bipass piping and necessary temporary water control and dewatering facilities.

Type of Structure: Dam

The Bowman team had to install a new gate with 3 phase lifting electrical motors.

Bowman Constructors engineered the crane lifts and related steel fabrications to make the project a success.
