Abstract :
*(250~1000 words)
The Etenesh Zeleke Public Dock is a public use dock facility located adjacent to the River Walk Park along the Sacramento River. The project opened to the public in May 2021. The name of the dock was chosen from over 650 public nominations, to pay homage to a resident of West Sacramento who contributed extensively to create a community near the river. The project aims to connect the river boating community to the urban core of the region, boosting the local economy and reenergizing the historic waterfront. The waterfront improvement project by the City of West Sacramento was funded by the Boating Infrastructure Grant through the California Department of Boating and Waterways and local Community Investment Funds. The project is an excellent example of public will and engineering ingenuity to revive an ageing waterfront that held historic sentiment, for continued use by the community. It was a successful collaboration between the owner, stakeholders, multiple engineering disciplines, and the contractor. The project provides approximately 430’ long berthing dock for large vessels that use Sacramento river for recreational purposes. Smaller vessels, less than 26’ length, can also dock at the northern end of the dock. The docks comprise of one 24’x58’ precast concrete berthing dock alongside a series of eight inter-connected 8’ wide floating docks that extend upriver. Both the berthing and floating docks are held in place by several of the historic guide piles from the original dock structure circa 1980s. The docks can be accessed from the levee by means of an ADA compliant fixed platform leading to a two-span floating gangway. Each section of the gangway is aluminum construction and approximately 80’ in length. The gangways have multiple floats attached on the underside to provide buoyancy as water level changes with seasons. The gangways can adapt to approximately 35’ change in water levels in the river. During peak flows, the river carries a significant amount of debris at high velocity that can severely damage the dock structures and the moored vessels. The project adapted a simple yet elegant solution by installing floating debris deflector that divert the debris away from the docks. The deflectors consist of multiple buoyant HDPE pipes that are held in place by new guide piles. The deflectors also adjust with the change in water levels.
