Pier 66 Redevelopment,
Florida
Pier 66 Marina is located in Ft. Lauderdale at the
Hyatt Regency Resort on the Intracoastal
Waterway adjacent to the deep water in Port
Everglades.
Coastal Systems designed the redevelopment of the marina
to accommodate a range of vessels with seasonal slip mixes
ranging from 80 to 99 vessels. The marina is designed to
accommodate large megayachts in excess of 250 feet long
during the yachting season in South Florida, but the docks
are designed with flexibility in the utilities to accommodate
smaller vessels depending on the market demand. Coastal
Systems designed the marine structures and the utilities
infrastructure for the marina. Concrete fixed docks were
designed to moor the larger vessels along A and F docks
within the basin and to avoid seagrass impacts. Mooring
hardware and fenders were designed for the larger docks to
accommodate the larger yachts. Floating docks were
designed for Piers B and C within the marina basin to moor
vessels between 50 and 90 feet long. These docks were
designed to avoid impacts to seagrass within the existing
marina fairways, and design criteria was prepared for the
floating docks including wind, waves, tidal current, and
storm surge. Replacement bulkheads, totaling 2,600 feet of
shoreline, were also designed throughout the marina. The
bulkheads were coordinated with the landscape architect to
provide a promenade along the waterfront, and the
bulkheads along F Dock also provide mooring for vessels
ranging from 60 to 90 feet long. Marina utilities were
planned and designed for the facility.
Coastal Systems worked with marina management to design
and specify shore power pedestals to meet the requirements
of the seasonal slip mixes, yet also to provide 3-phase
power at 480V for the superyachts. Fire protection and
domestic water services were designed, along with high
speed fueling and communications. Utility routing design
was completed to coordinate all of the utilities along the
fixed and floating docks. Coastal Systems completed the
environmental permitting for the marina redevelopment
through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Florida
Department of Environmental Protection, and Broward
County. Key environmental issues addressed through the
permitting process included the avoidance of impacts to
seagrass and water quality criteria compliance.of 1997.
Coastal Systems also provided sovereign submerged lands
use consulting services to secure the State Lands Leases
required for A Dock along the Intracoastal Waterway.
Coastal Systems provided construction administration and
Resident Project Representative (RPR) services throughout
construction.
