Overview

Architect
Completed
May 30, 2014

Dawson constructed a 48-by-120-foot floating dock at Bar Harbor in Ketchikan, providing critical maritime infrastructure for both commercial fishing operations and local emergency vehicle access. Working over water in Southeast Alaska's tidal environment, Dawson's marine construction crew managed pile driving, float fabrication, gangway installation, and utility connections, delivering an asset the Ketchikan community depends on daily.

Bar Harbor now has a modern floating dock that serves Ketchikan's commercial fishing fleet and provides emergency vehicle access to the waterfront, two essential functions delivered in a single piece of marine infrastructure. The float handles Southeast Alaska's extreme tidal conditions and the daily wear of commercial maritime operations. For a community built on fishing and marine industry, this is the kind of infrastructure that keeps the economy running and keeps people safe on the water.
