The City of Juneau, Alaska received a new cruise ship dock for the 2004 cruise ship season. The new floating dock provides improved passenger transit compared to traditional fixed docks that are typical in the area. ACC Hurlen Construction, along with design engineer PND Incorporated, provided design and construction for this project.

Close coordination between Cruiseline Agencies of Alaska, ACC Hurlen, and PND allowed the design, material acquisition, and construction to be completed in time for the first cruise ship of the season. The design/build work was completed in five months from the notice-to-proceed.

The use of the innovative SPIN FIN® pile tips provided cost and time savings to this project by providing necessary pile capacities with significantly lower pile embedment than typical pile types in the very soft marine sediments at the project site.
