This bulk fuel unloading pier was awarded through a design-build competition and was completed in 2001. It was built with minimum over-the-water construction time due to the large size of the precast elements. The precast pile caps were up to 75 feet long and weighed over 150 tons. The deck elements were each assembled from prestressed bridge girders as full width roadway units and set onto the pile caps in one piece.
