This week the AM-Tech team safely and successfully completed the initial pile driving operation, marking a major milestone in the Gulf State Park Pier's structural repair project.
Throughout the project, they will drive 18 piles, each 90 feet long, and install concrete caps and girders to restore the damaged structure. Specialized equipment, including a jack-up support vessel and a barge, facilitated the pile driving and construction activities.
As a subcontractor to MD Thomas, AM-Tech is committed to delivering high-quality solutions and preserving the pier's structural integrity.
Contractors sunk the first of 17 new pilings Tuesday, January 30, 2024. Up until now, the focus has been on removing all the fallen pilings from the old pier, some of which were buried as deep as 20 feet in the sand.
