C. Experience—CoastalEast Mooring Field, Punta Gorda, FLWeiler Engineering designed and permittedthis 23.8 acres of Mooring Field located inthe Peace River on the East side of US 41.Forty‐two boats of various sizes can be anchoredin this pristine location in CharlotteHarbor.During the research and design process,Weiler Engineering became aware of problemswith a nearby Sarasota Bay Mooringfield. The mooring anchors were pulling outdue to increased amount of tension from theshock‐absorbing down lines. This caused extensivedamage to the natural seabeds andbecame a major public concern.WEC identified similarities between the Punta Gorda and Sarasota scope of work and was able to avoid similarissues by addressing them early in the design process. This proactive approach by WEC ensures a good design,saves our client’s money, and protects our natural resources. Weiler Engineers designed the East Mooringfield with increased tensile strength on the down lines and used Helical Rock Anchors to over‐compensatefor the anchors pulling out of the seabed providing the City of Punta Gorda with a heavy duty mooring fieldthat will withstand various conditions in Charlotte Harbor with minimal environmental concerns.Project Client: City of Punta GordaContact Name: Mark Gering, P.E.Address: 126 Harvey Street, Punta Gorda, FLPhone: (941) 575‐3372Design Svc.Fee $42,391Project Cost: $139,533; Est: $130,630.50Contractor:C‐Scape ConstructionContr.
