Construction is now in the 13th week of 95 at the North Carolina Aquariums’ Jennette’s Pier.

  • Steel pilings continue to be driven into the shallow waters near shore by Misner Marine for the temporary trestle; the round steel pilings are being spliced on site before being driven.  Pilings in this area are driven to a depth of 40 feet.
  • The south trestle has reached the mean low tide water line and is approximately 14 sections long.  Work on section 15 has commenced.
  • Work continues on both the center trestle and south steel trestle.
  • The slab for the wastewater treatment building was poured, beginning at 7:30 a.m. and continued until noon on Thursday, July 30th.
  • Fair weather continues to be a positive factor, with no days being lost due to weather-related issues.
