Scope Of Work
A bridge scour project at the NASA Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Cape Canaveral, Florida, required a remedial and protective solution.
Application: A bridge scour project at the NASA Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Cape Canaveral, Florida, required a remedial and protective solution.
The Challenge: Continuous scour protection was needed around each bascule pier for four bridges throughout the KSC’s channel and fender system. Bridge scour protection is nothing new for the Triton® Marine Mattress System, but the product was to the owner, thus necessitating an extensive permit process through the USACE and local municipalities. Positioning and anchoring the mats were also significant challenges. "The Haulover Canal Bridge, in particular, has a narrow channel, which has high velocities and deep scour pockets," said Kim Rivera of Jones Edmunds & Associates, Inc., the design engineer for the project. - See more at: http://www.tensarcorp.com/Projects/Kennedy-Space-Center#sthash.C40DB2gY.dpuf
