Orion nabs Hugh K. Leatherman Terminal contract

Orion Marine has won an $88 million contract by South Carolina State Ports Authority in a competitive bid process.

The project is for the Hugh K. Leatherman Terminal Wharf Extension at the Port of Charleston and Orion will self-perform the construction of 1,600 linear feet of concrete pile-supported wharf as a northward extension of the existing terminal.

The scope includes the installation of precast, prestressed concrete piles, along with precast caps, deck slabs, and stay-in-place concrete tubes, as well as removing dredged material to accommodate larger vessels and placing bedding and armor stone for shoreline stabilization.

According to Orion, the project will start in the first quarter of 2025 with an anticipated duration of 20 months.
