Bahia
Mar, Florida
Coastal Systems International, Inc. designed the
maintenance dredging and bulkhead replacement as part
of the Bahia Mar's marina replacement project. Bahia Mar
is the world's original mega-yacht marina, and it was
originally built in 1949 and is the home of the Fort Lauderdale
International Boat Show. The dredging  consisted
of excavation of approximately 26,000 cubic yards of material
to accommodate larger vessels with the 235 new slips.
Dredged material handling consulting services were provided,
and contract payment hydrographic surveys were provided
to support construction. Coastal Systems also assisted
environmental consultants with the extensive seagrass
restoration plans that were required to mitigate resource
impacts from the maintenance dredging. Bulkhead improvements
included the design of steel sheet piling replacement
walls and marina utility penetrations for the docks. Construction
administration services were provided, and construction
was completed in November, 2003 in time for The boat show.
