DCCM provided engineering design services for a 100-foot floating dock installed perpendicular to the Vilano Pier in St. Johns County, Florida, enhancing boater access to the Vilano Town Center. The project required careful evaluation of challenging site conditions, including heavy boat traffic, wind-driven wave action, and strong tidal currents. Our team conducted a comprehensive review of existing conditions and anticipated loading requirements to inform the development of performance-based design specifications for the floating dock system and associated gangways, ensuring long-term functionality and durability.

In collaboration with subconsultants, DCCM supported the project through bathymetric surveying and water quality analysis to assess water circulation and flushing characteristics critical to the dock’s performance and environmental compliance. The team also coordinated permitting efforts with regulatory agencies, including the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). During construction, DCCM provided ongoing support through contractor submittal reviews and coordination, helping to ensure the project was delivered in accordance with design intent and regulatory requirements.
