Engineer Reports Crescent City Harbor s Travelift Piers Are Unsafe; Travelift On Its Last Legs, Says Harbormaster
Though they’re not a complete loss, an independent consulting firm deemed the Crescent City Harbor District’s two Marine Travelift Piers unsafe for use, the port’s CEO told commissioners Tuesday.
Following a recent inspection and report by PND Engineers, Harbormaster Tim Petrick told commissioners that the two piers can be repaired, but at a potential cost of about $500,000. Replacing them would cost an estimated $850,000, he said.
The Travelift itself is on its last legs, Petrick said.
“I, of course, do not expect you to make a decision at this time,” he said. “We can have a lot of discussion about whether we want to get a new Travelift, a bigger Travelift, (and) if we do that, do we want to replace these or repair them?”
