The Port of Anacortes commissioners approved construction at Curtis Wharf to repair sink holes and other damage caused by erosion of the abutment wall at its July 17 meeting.
The project entails repairing the original 120-foot bulkhead by attaching pressure-treated plywood panels against the horizontal lagging between the timber piles and backfilling.
The intent is to prolong the life of the wharf, maintain existing services for mooring vessels and to prevent settlement of the seafood warehouse that sits upland.
The project was identified in the port’s list of projects to start in 2008 and awarded to Culbertson Marine Construction for its bid of $58,000.
With additional costs, such as design and permitting, the total expense of the project is $88,000.
Work is expected to begin soon and take four weeks to complete.
