Bowman in Chadds Ford, PA started full time construction inspection for a project that we recently designed for PBF Logistics in New Jersey. The project involves construction of two mooring dolphins to tie up ships up to 750 ft long (LOA) and other associated construction work. Such construction work starts with the installation of falsework (temporary steel framing) to be able to install production piles at accurate locations and angles in the waterway. Above is a picture showing the marine contractor starting to install the falsework while floating and standing on water on timber mats. These men are exceptional since they do this work daily in extremely hot summer and extreme cold when the river is frozen.
