At Elm Street Pier in Newport, Rhode Island, a vital piece of the city's working waterfront is undergoing a major reconstruction. Following emergency repairs completed last spring to stabilize the aging structure, the existing pier is now being fully demolished to make way for a modern, resilient replacement. The new design includes more than 200 feet of timber pier construction, an 80‑foot gangway, and a series of floating docks supported by rock‑socketed piles, all significant upgrades that will enhance public access and long‑term durability along Newport Harbor. 

Reagan Marine Construction is leading the rebuild, drawing on decades of experience working throughout Narragansett Bay. The company has long supported Newport's waterfront, delivering projects such as the King Park Dinghy Dock and earlier improvements to the Elm Street Pier. Their portfolio also includes comparable work across the region, including recent upgrades at Gurney's Marina, construction and repair efforts at Safe Harbor New England Boatworks, and waterfront improvements at the Brown University Boathouse. They have also completed boardwalk and bulkhead projects in Bristol Harbor, as well as major military waterfront infrastructure upgrades for the U.S. Navy in Newport. 

With deep expertise in pile driving, marine demolition, steel sheeting, and dock construction, Reagan Marine is well‑suited for a project of this complexity. Known for precision and reliability, they are ensuring that the new pier and floating dock system is built on a foundation designed to endure. 

To support the pile driving and demolition work, Reagan Marine is utilizing their owned ICE® 44 vibratory hammer from International Construction Equipment, Inc (ICE®), outfitted with Hydrauli‑flex™ hose for efficient, high‑flow performance. The ICE® 44 provides the speed and control needed for removing old piles and installing new ones, particularly during the early stages of construction when accuracy and efficiency are critical. Its vibratory action is well‑suited for driving the timber and steel elements that form the backbone of the new pier, as well as preparing the rock‑socketed piles that will secure the floating docks against tides and storms. 

As reconstruction progresses, the Elm Street Pier project is shaping up to be a major enhancement to Newport's waterfront infrastructure. The rebuilt pier will offer safer access for boaters, improved public amenities, and a more resilient structure designed to withstand the challenges of a changing coastline. For ICE®, supporting Reagan Marine Construction with dependable equipment is an opportunity to help strengthen a key community asset. Through this collaboration, the Elm Street Pier is not just being rebuilt, it is being reimagined as a durable, accessible, and future‑ready gateway to Newport Harbor.
