Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park Structural Repairs Completed
The structural repairs to eight facilities at Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park have been completed after eight months of construction, which started in September of 2018.
Repairs to the facilities included:
-
the replacement of structural steel and timber decking at the Ivar’s deck with new galvanized steel, fiberglass and aluminum grating;
-
new aluminum finger piers at the Day Boat Moorage;
-
removal of wood timber wave skirts at the North Water Walk and South Water Walk;
-
new floatation and deck repairs at the Sailing Center;
-
structural piling repairs at the Trestle Bridge;
-
new plastic timber lagging at the Wave Break;
-
repairs to the main dock and hinge replacements at the piers at the boat launch.
The structural improvements to the facilities replaced aging structural components and wood timbers with new galvanized steel and aluminum, fiberglass grating, and plastic timber. Increasing the life span, decreasing maintenance, increased safety, and meeting new aquatic environmental requirements, these improvements will provide years of service for park patrons visiting Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park.
