OCC has extensive experience performing load rating analyses based upon existing observed conditions and deterioration levels of waterfront structures including timber, concrete and steel pile supported structures.

Structures include piers, wharves, breakwaters, floating dock systems, anchored and cantilevered bulkheads and seawalls. 

The main objective of these analyses is to verify the capacity and adequacy of existing waterfront structures during both normal conditions and severe storm events.  The effects of deterioration or actual construction are analyzed to determine the current structural capacity and approximate remaining service life.
