BEAUFORT, S.C. (Sept. 18, 2024) – The City of Beaufort has contracted with O’Quinn Marine to install pilings adjacent to the seawall at the Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park to allow for the mooring of shrimp boats during festivals held at the park.
The eight pilings will be set 6 inches from the seawall, and span 150 feet. With these pilings, the shrimp boats will not put any stress on the relieving platform that undergirds Waterfront Park. This is a temporary solution to allow the boats to be at the festivals as they have in the past. The pilings will NOT be used by cruise ships.
O’Quinn will begin the installation on Sept. 19 and is expected to complete it within a day.
