Terminal fencing will get makeover
Officials say it will enhance new park
A fence that protects the south end of the State Ports Authority's Columbus
Street Terminal in Charleston needs to be secure, but with some prompting
from city officials, the SPA has agreed that it doesn't need to look awful.
The rusting chain-link and barbed-wire fence that protects the port --
where new BMW vehicles are often parked awaiting shipment overseas -- also
lines one side of a planned $2.4 million city park at the foot of Charlotte
Street, near the South Carolina Aquarium.
"The original chain-link and barbed wire fencing needed replacing due to
condition," said Allison Skipper, the SPA's public relations manager. "The
new, more decorative fence will help improve the pedestrian experience and
way-finding for cruise passengers traveling through the area."
The new fencing, while more visually appealing, is built for security, with
cable-reinforced metal and sharp outward-curving tips. It's the same type
of fencing used to secure the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center on
the old Navy base in North Charleston, Skipper said.
Charleston Mayor Joe Riley said the city had discussed the fence with SPA
officials while planning for construction of the Charlotte Street Park.
"The fence -- and the park -- will be very nice," Riley said Friday. "There
was a pre-construction conference today, and construction will get under
way very soon."
The 1,920 feet of new fencing should be complete in April, and the park
should be finished in about a year. The city awarded the $2.39 million park
contract to AOS Specialty Contractors Inc. last year.
The park will be part of the city's effort to improve access to the
waterfront, as well as a monument to Charleston's early Irish settlers. The
local Irish community raised $400,000 to help finance the park.
A memorial planned there will feature a raised granite map of Ireland,
surrounded by bluestone, with plaques commemorating the high points of
Irish contributions to the city. The park also will have brick walkways
that lead down to a concrete pier extending about 75 feet over the water.
