Latest Progress Update on the New Folly Pier

A lot of progress has been made on the new Folly Beach Pier, particularly on the diamond pierhead. The substructure of the new diamond pierhead is almost complete, with all of the 64 piles driven, 6 precast pile caps placed, 145 cubic yards of cast-in-place pile cap concrete poured, and nearly all of the 36 precast post-tensioned concrete beams installed. Five of the 15 pierhead bollards have been installed, while handrail and deck panel installation is also underway.

The steel construction on the new gazebo is slated to begin this month as well. Cape Romain also continues construction on the pier’s walkway working from the pierhead back towards the land. The new Folly Beach Pier remains on schedule for completion in the Spring of 2023.
