Boardwalk Reconstruction City of Long Beach
In October 2012, Superstorm Sandy severely damaged this iconic 2.2-mile long boardwalk. LiRo-Hill immediately responded by performing a detailed damage assessment, developing alternative repair strategies, and preparing design documents. All wood support framing and decking, railings, lighting, and access ramps were replaced. Several resiliency features, including a continuous wave-break wall, will protect the boardwalk against future storm damage. The fast-track process enabled the construction schedule to dovetail with the release of individual design packages. LiRo-Hill was also Construction Manager for the project. A second project phase included the design and construction of new restroom and concession buildings. These prefabricated concrete structures are supported on piles at the elevation of the new boardwalk, and have been designed to evoke the classic Spanish Colonial style prevalent in Long Beach.
