Preparation for Habitat Bench and Wall Panel Installation at Seattle’s Seawall Replacement

View south near the Seattle Aquarium

Construction furiously continues along the historic piers at the Elliott Bay Seawall Project (EBSP). Much activity in progress, including jet grouting for the Improved Soil Mass (ISM) and careful excavation to prep for habitat bench and wall panel installation. Photos and videos below.



Look here for a conceptual view of what’s being constructed. See the New and Improved Seawall illustration. Waterfront Seattle’s February 12th update highlights the new seawall face panels being installed.
