On-water events along the Treasure Island shoreline
Tournament weigh-ins near Treasure Island bring a crowd for two hours and nothing at all for the rest of the day. Delivery for a Treasure Island waterfront event happens the day before, because the site fills with vendors at dawn. For Treasure Island events we split the order between the ramp, the vendor row and the spectator seawall.
Power and lighting at Treasure Island evening events run off generators, and we keep well clear of the cable runs. Pickups in Treasure Island are booked the same way deliveries are, with a day and a window.
Working the Treasure Island marine trades yards
Bottom jobs, paint and systems work at Treasure Island yards keep crews on staging and scaffold for weeks at a stretch. We time Treasure Island marina service for mid-morning, after the yard crews have started and before the afternoon haul-outs begin. Deliveries onto Treasure Island marina property go through the gate with the yard manager notified, because the travel lift owns the main lane.
Tide range on Biscayne Bay is small, but the floating docks at Treasure Island still move, so nothing heavy goes out onto a float. Weekend work happens in Treasure Island, and Saturday service is part of the normal week.
Rebuilding the bulkheads in Treasure Island
Most Treasure Island seawall contracts run from the property line to the water, and the crew works the whole stretch of the Intracoastal Waterway frontage in a single pull. A Treasure Island crew working tight against the Intracoastal Waterway keeps the unit forward by the equipment trailer rather than anywhere the crane can swing. We service Treasure Island seawall sites early, before the barge crew stages material and the driveway fills up with panels, forms and rebar.
Ground behind a Treasure Island seawall is sand fill over limestone, and it turns to slurry the moment the dewatering pumps start running. We keep a note of the agreed spot on every Treasure Island property so it does not get relitigated.
