Overview
Drydock structure is a 100'x42' barge hull design, with (2) 3'x20'x82' wing walls. The hull has one longitudinal bulkhead on centerline and three transverse bulkheads, for a total of 8 compartments. In 2005 it was modified and refit which included:
- Two longitudinal steel pontoon tanks (5'4" diameter) were welded to the existing structure
- To these were added fiberglass decking panels to create an internal walkway around the structure
- A 29' high galvanized steel 2" arch truss structure was installed on the wing wall tops to carry a Bigtop Super Duty 22 ounce NFPA flame retardant PVC Vinyl top
- The trusses are set at approximately 10' centers. There is an entrance door at the shoreward end
- The outside end is open for vessel entrance, with netting and drawstring to close
The vessel that was stored in there was 98ft long x 20ft beam.
