Mallory Pier. Kings Point, New York.
WRA provided full-service engineering and construction administration services for the pier, which was designed specifically to accommodate the United States Merchant Marine Academy’s (USMMA) cadet training vessel, the T/V Kings Pointer. The new pier consists of precast, pre-stressed concrete cylindrical piles, pile caps, and deck panels. Due to the pier’s crucial role in the USMMA’s primary mission, along with its prominent location along the Academy’s Long Island Sound Waterfront, the Mallory Pier Replacement Project is among the most important of the capital improvement projects implemented at USMMA.
