Book excerpt: Lima Quay Wall Inspection Summary: The quay wall is constructed of concrete sheet piles, and consists of 3400 lineal feet in addition to the east end. The inspection was referenced to NAVFAC drawing 1343552. The quay wall is in good condition. Heavy marine growth approximately three inches thick was evident from the mud line to the low water mark throughout the length of the wall. (Marine growth consisted primarily of barnacles, mussels and scallops.) Fill material was washing out behind the wall in several noted locations. J-K Pier: Half of the piles on J-K pier were spot inspected (at least four places on each) for a total of 300 piles. Spot inspection was required due to heavy marine growth on the piles. Of the 300 piles inspected 168 have sustained minor to moderate damage. The pier is still considered serviceable but requires major work soon to remain serviceable. The minor damage consisted of small cracks and the moderate damage from cracks 1/2 to 3/4 inch deep and up to 20 feet long. Upon cleaning the piles bankia and torpedos were often present. Age and marine growth have caused spalling and generally softened the concrete. A more thorough inspection would require extensive cleaning. Under the pier, above the waterling were several areas with exposed rebar. Improper preparation of the area to be repaired is a probable cause of the extensive spalling of these ganite repairs. NAVFAC drawing numbers 6003915 and 6003918 germane. Photos showing some of the damage are attached as enclosure (3).
