The Trusted Solution Since 1949
As you might have guessed, CROFTON joined many others in Baltimore earlier this week with the Samson to assist with the recovery efforts of the Francis Scott Key Bridge. Thank you to Deadrise Marine Photography for capturing the efforts of our crew, and all the crews who are working to clear the Baltimore channel.
The City of Portsmouth deemed part of the Portsmouth seawall unsafe due to structural deficiencies over eight years ago.
CROFTON broke ground on “Area 6” of the replacement project in July 2022. Referred to as the promenade, it includes more than 600 linear feet of seawall. We’re happy to say it reopened to the public in February 2024.
Visitors will notice a new bulkhead wall, a new concrete boardwalk and handrails that match the previously completed sections.
The City of Portsmouth has been our home since 1986. It has been our honor to support the revitalization of this community landmark and we are so happy to see it open again for all citizens to enjoy our beautiful working waterfront!
Last week marked a significant milestone for CROFTON as we celebrated the completion of the refurbishment of a critical section of our waterfront facility. The ribbon cutting ceremony was graced by the presence of Mayor Shannon Glover and other esteemed City of Portsmouth officials, making the event even more special.
The refurbishment project is a testament to our ongoing commitment to excellence and innovation. This refurbished section will enhance our operational efficiency, allowing us to better serve the needs of the maritime community.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to Mayor Glover, Director of Economic Development Brian Donahue, the City of Portsmouth officials, and everyone who has supported us throughout this journey. Your encouragement and partnership are invaluable, and we are honored to serve this incredible community.
