Rebuilding the Chatham Fish Pier
At The Hose Company, we take great pride in providing high-quality hose solutions for various industries, including those that support essential construction projects like the one at Chatham Fish Pier. As a trusted manufacturer of Hydrauli-Flex hoses, we are excited to share how our products are integral to maintaining the structural integrity and operational efficiency of ICE® equipment used in such high-stakes jobs.
Chatham, Massachusetts, known for its beautiful waterfront and iconic fish market, recently faced an urgent challenge when the bulkhead of the Chatham Fish Pier, a central fixture of the town, began to deteriorate. This led to the awarding of a $5 million contract to MAS Building & Bridge for the reconstruction of the pier's bulkhead, observation deck, and walkways. The importance of rebuilding the pier was not only to enhance its aesthetic appeal but also to ensure the safety of both commercial fishermen and the public who frequent the observation deck for a view of Chatham Harbor.
To tackle the demanding work of installing new fender piles in front of the bulkhead, MAS Building & Bridge chose to use ICE® equipment, including an ICE® 28D Vibratory Driver/Extractor. The use of Greenheart timber piles for this project is a testament to the need for durability, with Greenheart being an ideal material due to its impressive strength and natural resistance to decay. However, driving these piles into place requires precision and power, which is where our Hydrauli-Flex hoses come in.
Hydrauli-Flex hoses are specifically engineered to handle high-pressure applications, providing the reliability and strength needed to power vibratory drivers and extractors, such as the ICE® 28D. These hoses are essential for ensuring that the equipment operates smoothly, efficiently, and safely. Whether it's driving piles into the challenging marine environment or ensuring that heavy machinery can function without interruption, Hydrauli-Flex hoses are up to the task.
Our hoses are designed to withstand the harsh conditions of saltwater, making them an ideal fit for marine and coastal construction projects like the one at Chatham Fish Pier. The new steel and timber piles, driven by the ICE® equipment, will help ensure that the pier can handle heavier loads, improve working conditions for the fishermen, and allow the observation deck to accommodate more visitors, including those with disabilities.
At The Hose Company, we are proud to be part of such critical projects that have a lasting impact on local communities. Our Hydrauli-Flex hoses are not just a part of the machinery but are integral to ensuring the longevity and success of high-end construction like the Chatham Fish Pier reconstruction. As we continue to support these vital projects, we look forward to more opportunities to provide the hose solutions that power the machines that build our infrastructure.
The rebuilding of Chatham Fish Pier is a perfect example of how The Hose Company’s Hydrauli-Flex hoses contribute to the success of essential construction projects, ensuring safety, reliability, and durability for years to come.
