Mornington Pier, destruction!

Boardwalk style? The water hitting the boards from underneath will rip those things apart. Who designed that thing?

nope, no water hiting it from underneath, all this damage has come from water hitting it side on
its fully concreted undrneath from memory
edit . the wooden walkway as such is just a floating feature floor.

Look at the edge. It will be hit by the waves from the side.

It's only hit from the sides, under the timber, due to the wave screens dislodging and falling off. Which in turn would have started to damage and lift the timber, then the waves finished it off.
If the screens were securely fixed and hadn't failed, I think the whole pier would still be fine. It's a very poor design fault.

fc yes side on, not waves hitting from underneath the whole thing, like a normal pier is what i meant.

all that damage is from the side which is quite visible, those bolts holding the wood werent the problem, the wood actually broke off which made it easy to dislodge.
so if anything maybe they bought cheap wood from china lolllllll

We should let the engineers and designers of that repair wear kilt then we tie them off the edge of the pier during rough weather. Only when they feel the power of the waves they will understand why they need to do better jobs.

It should, but they won't build a breakwall much to our and the yacht clubs dismay. The dive groups want full access underneath. The greenies don't want such a large pier and they sure as **** don't want any sort of breakwall.

A lot cheaper to repair cosmetic damage,rather than structural.

Black Rock pier is also damaged and closed half way.
