Coquina Trail Boardwalk, SC
Project Title: Coquina Trail Boardwalk
Project Description: South Carolina State Park Service is the government agency with user community non-profit partner SORBA (Midlands chapter) in a 2021 RTP grant submission to fund construction of ~280' boardwalk on the Coquina Trail sector spanning Shank's Creek in Poinsett State Park as replacement for the original CCC structure that was built during park construction in 1934. The boardwalk then became one of the Park's highlight features for over eighty years and was a primary basis for Poinsett's placement on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016. Damage resulting from the 2015 Millennial rain event flooding was repaired, but the boardwalk was then destroyed by Hurricane Michael flooding in 2018.
This will be a hybrid project with decking materials and installation by SCSPS and SORBA comprising the RTP grant match. So we are currently soliciting interest and initial estimates for professional services and materials to install pilings, cross ties and stringers for cost comparison of helical v standard piling construction and feasibility of handrail (see attached engineering plans).
