Projects

Childs Engineering performed a comprehensive inspection of the public waterfront facilities at Memorial Wharf, including topside, underdeck, and underwater assessments, and provided a detailed report with repair recommendations and cost estimates. Working closely with the Town of Edgartown, Childs developed a long-term plan to address structural needs and operational goals, leading to the design of a new steel and timber wharf to replace the aging timber pier as well as upgrades to the existing steel bulkhead providing much needed storm and sea level rise resiliency.

Childs secured all required local, state, and federal permits, supported grant funding efforts, and guided the contractor selection process. Throughout construction, we provided ongoing administration and site inspection services, ensuring the project stayed on track despite challenges. The successful rehabilitation supports Memorial Wharf’s continued role as a vital hub in the town’s economy and community life.
