Pile structure environmental permit challenges
Little Island was created by connecting special, huge
tulip-like pots set at different heights on slender concrete
pile/columns driven deep into a riverbed to rock. To develop
this innovative marine foundation, Mueser Rutledge
Consulting Engineers (MRCE) envisioned and redesigned
ordinary piles and created composite piles of different
heights to provide the undulating topography of the new park.
The unique precast concrete composite piles not only hold up
this unusual, heavy structure in the marine environment, but
offer an aesthetic element for the new storm-resilient
recreational pier.
Acknowledgments
The pier was funded primarily through a philanthropic gift
from the Diller-Von Furstenberg Family Foundation to the
Hudson River Park Trust. For their ability to reduce
emissions, the bulkhead platform and accessways were
funded through New York State's Congestion Mitigation and
Air Quality Improvement Program. The authors would also
like to thank the following design and construction team
members: Standard Architects (executive architect); Gardiner
& Theobald (owner's representative); McLaren Engineering
(peer reviewer for the New York State Office of General
Services); and GZA Geoengineers (contractor's consultants).
