Gas House Cove, San Francisco Bay, California
Construction and Rehabilitation History
1965
Construction of the harbor was completed by the City of San Fran-
cisco. Two concrete sheet-pile breakwaters (Figure
totaling
840
in length, initially were constructed by the City. Boat
owners immediately complained of excessive wave action and damage
to boats and marine facilities resulting from waves entering the
basin from the west through the gap in the existing breakwaters and
reflecting within the harbor off the vertical walls of Mason Pier.
1975
The CE completed construction of a 117-ft-long concrete sheet-pile
breakwater between and joining the two existing breakwaters. The
crest el of the structure was
mllw, and the cost of the
project was 4,090.
1986
There is no record of maintenance or repairs since construction of
the breakwater. The structure is in good condition.
