NC At your request, Dudek Consulting, P.C. (DC) visited Seapath Towers at 322 Causeway Drive, Wrightsville Beach, NC on December 6. 2011 to evaluate the concerns for the deterioration of the bulkhead seawall concrete cap. The bulkhead was installed in 1982 as a replacement project and faces Motts Channel to the southeast. Drawings for the replacement project were available. See the attachments. This evaluation is per the North Carolina State Building Code: Building Code, 2006 IBC with North Carolina Amendments, 2009 Edition (NCBC) as the current building code and as a guide for structural acceptance. No design calculations were required. No testing of materials was performed. Information provided and reported by others is accepted as truthful. The bulkhead and seawall cap are currently located in the 133-mph, exposure C wind zone, as extrapolated, per the NCBC and ASCE 7-05 with no topographic site effects. As seen during the visit, the bulkhead is concrete sheetpiling 8"x3'-0" capped with a reinforced concrete cap 18" deep by 20" wide. Over the years, the concrete cap has cracked laterally across the top of the cap near the sheetpiling joints and is rusting and spalling on the cap face overlooking the channel. There are cracks at the corner tops. The spalling appears to be associated with the rust expansion corrosion of the lowest rebar in the cap on the channel side. DUDEK CONSULTING, P.C.

With more than 25% loss of area, the repair is to include replacement of the tieback with equivalent stainless steel material. 4. After the completion of all repairs to the tiebacks, the area grading and landscaping is to be restored to an owner's acceptable. It is the DC conclusion that the recommended repairs to the seawall concrete cap as Phase 1 and Phase 2 can provide an acceptable short term cosmetic restoration and a long term structural repair for the stability of the bulkhead. With the above recommendations, the repairs to the seawall concrete cap and the bulkhead will be structural acceptable for use and occupancy and in compliance with the intent of NCBC requirements.
