After the port’s Hood Canal Marina dock was damaged between Christmas and New Year’s, port insurer Enduris hired a Consultant and marine sur- veyor, with whom Port Executive Director Lary Cop- pola met while inspecting thevdo‘ck. Of the port’s two bids to repair the dock, Coppola expected the port to select one that week, after conferring with Enduris about which could cpmplete the work the soonest. ‘ Coppola noted the port’s deductible is $1,000, and .IESFIELD ,Construction; Inc. «Serving the North Mason area since 1968 I Specializing in Seawall Repair, Remodeling and Additions 360-275-6684 Steve Merrill ' Allyn, WA Lic #JESFII‘228DO reported the port has closed the dock. with a locked ‘ gate, having supplied keys to the three boat owners moored there. “The damage is severe, (but) it isn’t as bad as we . first anticipated,” Cappola .said: “We are going to have to make some improvements once the repairs are complete, including making the pilings taller, so we wouldn’t-have the same issue with a king tide floating the dock higher than the top of the pilings.” According to Coppola, steel pilings can have ex- tensions welded to their existing tops, while wooden pilings can be. sleeved with either steel or fiberglass and filled with composite material. “While this will cost some money, it won’t be ex- traordinarily expensive,” Coppola said. Since the Jan. 24 king tide didn’t do addition- al damage, Coppola expects to move forward with repairs “as soon as possible.” I ;_ During one of the king tides, one of the pilings on .the Allyn pier broke loose and floated'away. Because the entiré alcove section is sagging, Cop— ' v pola ordered the closure of that section to the public until the port can find a solution to getting another piling. Coppola said the part could replace the pierwith a newstructure or it could sleeve the existing pilings with concrete or steel, which would get the creosote out of the water. ~ ‘ As the port weighs the feasibility and useful life spans versus costspthe port’s lobbyist has assem- bled a letter to the Legislature, including logos from a dozen local supporters of the project, asking for see ALLYN, page .39 "mm WWW “as figmmu. may!“ r11.
