NEW ASCE WATERFRONT FACILITIES INSPECTION & ASSESSMENT MANUAL
Need and Purpose • “Underwater InvesOgaOons Standard PracOce Manual” (ASCE
Manual 101) – Published in 2001 – WriUen by engineers, for engineers – Provides guidance on many structure types, from piers & wharves to
bridges, dams and tunnels
• The Need for a Waterfront FaciliOes focused manual became evident – Inclusive of the enOre structure and fixed appurtenances – New concepts and technical approaches needed
• Manual 101 remains valid for underwater inspecOon of non-‐waterfront structures

NEW ASCE WATERFRONT FACILITIES INSPECTION & ASSESSMENT MANUAL
Need and Purpose
“Waterfront Facili6es Inspec6on & Assessment Manual”

• Covers inspecOon of the enOre asset
• Provides guidance to Owners, as well as “execuOng” engineers
NEW ASCE WATERFRONT FACILITIES INSPECTION & ASSESSMENT MANUAL
Scope
• Comprehensive treatment of waterfront faciliOes: – Piers/jeBes – Wharves/quays – Bulkheads/quaywalls – Wave screens – Marinas – Boat ramps – FloaOng structures – Buoys – Slope protecOon
5
NEW ASCE WATERFRONT FACILITIES INSPECTION & ASSESSMENT MANUAL
Scope • Guidance provided for:
– Structural components • Above water and underwater
– Fixed uOliOes – Equipment – Mooring hardware – Topside paving and drainage – Safety features – Appurtenances
• Excluded: – container cranes – material offloading/conveyance equipment
6
NEW ASCE WATERFRONT FACILITIES INSPECTION & ASSESSMENT MANUAL
Scope
• WriUen for Owners and Engineers ― by Owners and Engineers – Working knowledge of waterfront structures is assumed
– Focuses on “what, when, why, and where”
– Detailed “how to” guidance NOT provided

NEW ASCE WATERFRONT FACILITIES INSPECTION & ASSESSMENT MANUAL
New Topics Introduced
• Seven InspecOon Types Remain from Manual 101: – RouOne InspecOon – Structural Repair or Upgrade InspecOon – New ConstrucOon InspecOon – Baseline InspecOon – Special InspecOon – Repair ConstrucOon InspecOon – Post-‐Event InspecOon
• Eighth InspecOon Type Introduced: – Due Diligence InspecOon
10
NEW ASCE WATERFRONT FACILITIES INSPECTION & ASSESSMENT MANUAL
New Topics Introduced
• Service Life Modeling
• DefiniOon of element-‐level raOngs, with sketches
• Mooring and berthing system condiOon inspecOons and raOng scheme
• AddiOon of uOlity system condiOon inspecOons and raOng scheme
• AddiOon of coaOng system defect definiOons
• AddiOon of load isolators and bearing defect definiOons
• AddiOon of a comprehensive appendix on specialized inspecOon techniques
11
NEW ASCE WATERFRONT FACILITIES INSPECTION & ASSESSMENT MANUAL
New Topics Introduced
• Extensive coverage of “Special ConsideraOons” for specific structure and system types – Pile-‐supported waterfront structures – Relieving plaporms – Bulkheads and retaining walls – Seawalls and revetments – Gravity block walls – Paving in immediate vicinity of structure – Caisson, cofferdams and cellular structures – FloaOng structures – Mooring hardware and fender systems – Mooring buoy systems
12
NEW ASCE WATERFRONT FACILITIES INSPECTION & ASSESSMENT MANUAL
New Topics Introduced
• Extensive coverage of “Special ConsideraOons” for specific structure and system types – Wave screens and aUenuators – Waterfront security barriers – Cathodic protecOon systems – Marinas and small craq harbor components – Gangways – Boat ramps – Marine railways – Bullrails, ladders and safety features – Crane rails, trenching and cables – Waterfront uOlity systems
13
NEW ASCE WATERFRONT FACILITIES INSPECTION & ASSESSMENT MANUAL
Cutting-edge and Controversial Topics Introduced
• Guidance provided on “Significant Changes and Owner ResponsibiliOes” – Significant changes include:
• ReducOon in design capacity due to damage or deterioraOon
• Increased loads – Larger vessels – Increased sail or current area – Increased live loads
• Upgrades that modify load paths
– No “significant” deterioraOon or damage • Repair/rehabilitaOon may proceed normally
14
NEW ASCE WATERFRONT FACILITIES INSPECTION & ASSESSMENT MANUAL
Cutting-edge and Controversial Topics Introduced
• Guidance provided on “Significant Changes and Owner ResponsibiliOes” – “Significant” deterioraOon or damage requires
structural evaluaOon prior to repair or rehabilitaOon • ReducOon in design capacity of primary members of 20% or
more is considered potenOally significant • Structures that are rated “Poor” or below are considered to
exhibit potenOally significant damage • Method of structural evaluaOon should be determined by a
registered professional engineer
– For upgrade projects where loads are “significantly” increased, performance of system should be ensured • “Significant” is when demand-‐capacity raOo is 10% or
greater than without increased loads
