Project Description
Cape Romain Contractors entered into a Joint Venture with McLean Contracting Company headquartered in Glen Burnie, MD, to construct The South Carolina State Ports Authority’s Hugh K. Leatherman Sr. Wharf facility in North Charleston, SC. The first section of wharf is 1,400 feet long by 122 feet wide and was designed to support the modern port cranes that SCSPA purchased to offload the much larger “Post-Panamax” ships that now traverse the widened Panama Canal. The project began with dredging operations in the Cooper River, followed by pile driving, and then the erection of the precast concrete pile cap and deck system. Toward the end of the project, crane rails and fixtures, as well as fenders were installed to prepare the wharf to receive the new cranes in the Spring of 2020.
