The City Marina
- The City Marina is the boating center of historic Charleston, Voted Marina of the Year 1999, 2000, 2001.
The Marina consists of an existing +1,000 ft of fuel dock, and with the addition of a 2000 ft attenuator, the goal was to provide high speed fueling at various points on the new attenuator. Thru our design and installation teams we were able to meet our client’s demands for high speed fueling at all eight fueling points, and for the new fuel system to be in operation in 8 weeks.
The design required the installation of an additional 12,000 gallons of diesel storage. The existing geotechnical reports suggested unstable soil conditions, so the installation of H pilings 66 ft below the 1ft reinforced anchoring slab were installed to give the installation stability. The next step was to retrofit the existing diesel and gasoline storage tanks. The existing and new diesel tanks are each be equipped with 2-5hp Fe Petro submersible pumping units, piping is manifold at the piping sumps. A siphon system is also installed to give the client 24,000 gallons of diesel storage.
The installation of (2) two Environ flexible UV protected 3″ coaxial fuel lines for diesel, and (1) one Environ flexible UV protected 2″coaxial fuel line for gasoline were placed inside piping troughs in both the existing and new dockage.
Fuel dispensing was accomplished by the installation of (8) eight PMC Marine dispensers with electronic readout. This system has enabled The City Marina to exceed 100gpm at (4) four designated fueling points.
