The Villas at Linkhorn Bay, Virginia Beach, VA

Served as Structural Engineer of Record and Special Inspector for a new five building resort complex (each 5½ stories) on the Chesapeake Bay in Virginia Beach. In conjunction with the large waterfront condominium project, our work included replacement of an existing failed timber bulkhead and pier structure. The waterfront structures provide boat slips and marina facilities as well as retainage of environmentally sensitive areas. Our services also included structural design of a poolhouse & pool, a gate house, gazebo, and front entrance wall.

Our work included the study of existing soil conditions and their impact on the structural materials selected to assure the maximum life possible for the structure. Environmental specialists were consulted to minimize the impact and preserve the integrity of the indigenous wildlife. Project site features include: 600 feet long aluminum sheetpile bulkhead, 1500 linear feet of wood framed piers, finger piers, gangways, and gazebos. Materials used: marine grade pressure treated timber, high strength 6061-T6 aluminum alloy, and galvanized steel.
