| The Reserve Harbor Marina is a
sister project to The Reserve, a Greg Norman-designed golf course and
exclusive development at Litchfield in Georgetown County, South Carolina.
The project included construction of a high end wetslip marina with a
basin excavated from uplands on Willbrook Island. Access was achieved
through a historical rice field canal, which presented a unique design
challenge. Ultimately, a steel sheet pile, cantilevered bulkhead was
employed to stabilize one side of the channel. A dike featuring impressive
cypress trees was left its natural state on the opposite side of the
entrance channel. A water quality model, coordinated with marina
operational guidelines, assured environmental and cultural responsibility
on a historic site. The challenging project included accommodations for a
public boat ramp accessed through a private club marina. Alternative
designs for various building and structural materials were necessary to
address project needs and market conditions. The sensitive site required
preservation of 200-year old oaks and a colonial cemetery. The significant
topography, unusual for the area, required a sophisticated combination of
terracing and timber sheet pile bulkhead to delineate the marina basin.
Access to Willbrook Island was achieved via land by improvements to an
existing causeway. The new causeway was constructed from segmental masonry
units and accommodates all the utilities serving the Island. The marina
contains 60 wet slips, a 240-slip drystack, a public boat ramp with 25
trailer spaces, fuel facilities, a private clubhouse and ancillary parking
facilities. www.reserveharbormarina.com
