The Northbridge Park and Fishing Pier project has been completed and was dedicated by Mayor Joe Riley during a ceremony in May.  The project was for the City of Charleston’s Department of Parks.  JGT was a team member with ADC Engineering Specialists from Hanahan, SC  (www.adcengineering.com).

Dredging is now complete in historic Shem Creek in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina.  JGT was engaged by the Town of Mount Pleasant to plan, permit, design and provide construction administration for this dredging project at the Town’s newly constructed Shem Creek Park.  The project consisted of the hydraulic dredging of approximately 5,000 cubic yards of new dredge material at the existing docks at the park.  The project was completed on time and under budget.

Dredging has begun in historic Shem Creek in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina.  JGT was engaged by the Town of Mount Pleasant to plan, permit, design and provide construction administration for this dredging project at the Town’s newly constructed Shem Creek Park.  The project is taking place concurrently with the Corps of Engineers’ dredging of the Federal Channel in the Creek as well as the Mount Pleasant Channel and the anchorage basin adjacent to Sullivan’s Island.  The material is being hydraulically dredged by the Dredge Richmond (Cottrell Contracting) and is being pumped approximately five miles to the Morris Island Confined Disposal Facility.

A  Groundbreaking Ceremony took place on October 18th at the site of the future City of Charleston’s Northbridge Park.  Located at the base of the Highway 7 bridge entering West Ashley, the park will provide for passive recreational opportunities.  Amenities include a JGT designed fishing pier and floating canoe/kayak launch dock,  parking places, water fountains, lighting, bike racks and landscaping.  JGT worked as a sub-consultant to ADC Engineering Specialists (http://adcengineering.com/) to provide the planning, permitting, engineering design and construction administration for the pier structure.  The entire project will be constructed at a cost of approximately $1.5 million by the City of Charleston, Department of Parks.

Construction has been completed at the new Harbor Taxi Dock at the award winning City of Charleston Waterfront Park.  The new dock creates a water taxi stop near the City Market.  Other stops include the Charleston Maritime Center as well as Patriots Point and historic Shem Creek in Mount Pleasant.  The facility was constructed by Salmons Dredging Corporation.  A ribbon cutting ceremony featuring Mayor Joe Riley took place on September 25, 2013.  Jon Guerry Taylor & Associates, Inc.  planned, permitted, designed and provided construction administration for this project.
