The Navarre Beach Pier is the longest pier in Florida and on the Gulf of Mexico at 1, 545 feet in length, and it sits 30 feet above the water. The original pier was destroyed by Hurricane Ivan, and the project’s biggest challenge was drilling on a hurricane battered pier with a section missing. We drilled through the old pier using a tripod drill rig at a fraction of the cost of using a tugboat and barge. LMJ also provided construction testing services for the project including vibration monitoring and pile load testing.
