This paper discusses unique issues encountered during the design and construction of the Norfolk Deperming Pier, a berth that consists of two parallel, pile-supported piers roughly 345 meters long by 3.05 meters (1,140 by 10 feet) in width, and associated mooring and berthing platforms. The pier is a U.S. Naval facility used to remove the magnetic fields developed during vessel construction and after substantial refit work from U.S. Navy and U.S. Coast Guard surface vessels. The deperming pier was originally constructed in the mid-1940s using timber elements and was programmed for replacement in the early 1990s due to its poor condition.
