Anybody know about steel sheet pilings / seawalls?
We lost our steel sheet piling as a result of high river flows, low Lake Michigan water level, a very quick thaw with temps in the 60s, and a snow melt.
Had 16' steel sheet, and now the river bottom is below that and the sheet has slipped. It needs to be replaced with 30' long 7 gage steel sheet piling. Can anybody provide a very rough ballpark range a job such as this should cost? The job has to be done from a barge, not by land. Scope: Furnish sheet, equipment, labor, permits, hardware, etc to : a. remove destroyed sidewalk cap b. remove 3 40' fiberglass finger piers from damaged seawall c. remove 123 lineal feet of bent up and broken 7 gage 16 sheet piling d.prepare tie bars, etc for new sheet piling e. drive new steel sheet piling f. replace finger piers Concrete sidwalks, electric, plumbing by others. Just looking for a range - trying to keep the contractors honest. Thanks for your time Fred

Expensive.
Sorry don't know more than that. Be sure to get credit for the scrap they take out. Tom W

No, they say it was a flood, even though the water level was 4 feet below flood stage and 2 feet below where the water level was when the place was built.
So, I'll find an expert insurance attorney that will make some money from this.

Contact a local soils & foundation engineer, or GeoTechnical Engineer ( same thing). They should have rough figures that are appropriate for your area pretty much at their fingertips.
Or you could get a copy of RS Means Cost estimating guide, and work it out for yourself. Or, muliple estimates usually let you discover the best price.

I take it, it is not possible to put the new sheets in front of the old sheets (leaving the old sheets in place)?
