Construction of the Northbridge Park fishing pier and kayak launch dock continues on the Ashley River in Charleston, South Carolina. The fixed pier walkway construction stretches waterward and will lead to a 15′ x 30′ pier head. The gathering area portion of the pier that will lead to the gangway and floating canoe / kayak launch dock has been completed. The handrails will be installed later in the project and will consist of stainless steel cables between the aluminum posts that are now in place. The top cap on the handrails are the same composite material that is used for the decking.
 
 
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.
Construction is continuing on the Northbridge Park Fishing Pier and Kayak Launch Dock. Located in Charleston, South Carolina, the project client is the City of Charleston’s Department of Parks. Master Planning and upland civil engineering and landscape architecture is being accomplished by ADC Engineering Consultants.

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.
