Am-Tech

The Gulf State Park Pier has officially opened to the public! AM-Tech was honored to support MD Thomas in restoring such an important part of Gulf Shores.

One of Alabama's favorite coastal fishing spots reopens at last The Gulf State Park Pier was heavily damaged by Hurricane Sally.

This week the AM-Tech team safely and successfully completed the initial pile driving operation, marking a major milestone in the Gulf State Park Pier's structural repair project.

Throughout the project, they will drive 18 piles, each 90 feet long, and install concrete caps and girders to restore the damaged structure. Specialized equipment, including a jack-up support vessel and a barge, facilitated the pile driving and construction activities.

As a subcontractor to MD Thomas, AM-Tech is committed to delivering high-quality solutions and preserving the pier's structural integrity.

New pilings going in at Gulf State Park Pier Contractors sunk the first of 17 new pilings Tuesday, January 30, 2024. Up until now, the focus has been on removing all the fallen pilings from the old pier, some of which were buried as deep as 20 feet in the sand.

In September of 2020 Hurricane Sally, a slow-moving Category 2 Hurricane, made landfall in Gulf Shores, AL. Sally moved at a crawling pace of 2MPH leading to a level of destruction that was not anticipated. The Gulf State Park Pier took a hit causing a large portion of it to be swept away. Starting in early November, the $13 million repair project will kick off to restore the pier to its original state. Am-Tech, American Marine Technical Solutions, has been awarded a major portion of this project and will be assisting the prime contractor.
Am-tech will demolish the unusable portions of the existing pier to accommodate the replacement work. We will replace the damaged or missing structure components with new pile bents, pile caps and girders. Additionally, 4 bents will require refurbishment, and 21 piles will be jacketed to complete the repairs. The electrical services, deck panels and timber guard rails will be renewed by other contractors.
We are looking forward to being a part of the Gulf State Park Pier Repair Project!
