Potential Late Afternoon/Early Evening Work

As you may have noticed, morning high tides have been extremely high the last few days and will remain fairly high the remainder of this week. Therefore, IMCO General Construction has received approval to perform pile driving activities at the Des Moines Marina from noon to 8:00 p.m. beginning Wednesday, January 20, through Tuesday, January 26.

IMCO's request for extended work hours stated, and the Engineer of Record concurred, that the best time for the pile driving work to occur is during low tide. In providing conditional approval for IMCO to perform pile driving activities until 8:00 p.m., Jason Sullivan, City of Des Moines Land Use Planner II, stipulated that the contractor must still comply with all noise requirements established by the City's Municipal Code and WAC 173-60. He further stipulated that construction lighting shall be directed away from the residential areas and limited to lighting needed to safely illuminate the work zone as established by industry standards.

If you have any questions related to the extended hours pile driving activities that may be occurring during the next week, please don't hesitate to call or email. You may also wish to check for news and updates on the project website.

Thank you for your patience and understanding during the construction of the North Marina Combined Projects.
