In November 2018, Miami Beach residents voted to approve a General Obligation Bond Program, which includes funding specifically earmarked for seawall rehabilitation and living shoreline creation. To address the anticipated deterioration of existing seawall structures, the City engaged BBC Engineering, Inc., an engineering consultant, to develop a barrier plan to safeguard the structures and prevent further damage and/or erosion. Seawalls stabilize shorelines along the City's waterways. These seawalls are reaching the end of their design life. The failing seawall at this location will be reconstructed/rehabilitated with a standard sheet-pile system or the king and batter piles with concrete panels system which will be installed on the outside of the existing seawall. The result will be a unified structure with sufficient integrity to prevent shore erosion and further damage to the canal's water quality and benthic life. Furthermore, the elevation of the new seawall will be 5.7 NAVD, to satisfy the recommendation of the Mayor's Blue-Ribbon Panel to increase the seawall top-of-cap elevation to a minimum of 5.7 NAVD.
