Reconstruction of Pier November (second from the bottom) continues July 23, 2025, at Base Charleston in North Charleston, South Carolina. The Coast Guard used funding made available under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act to modify an existing contract to remove submerged pilings in the vicinity of the piers to facilitate construction of new and modernized facilities to support Coast Guard major cutter operations.

The Coast Guard’s Facilities Design and Construction Center completed a contract modification with The Whiting-Turner Contracting Company Aug. 25 to remove up to 100 submerged concrete piles under the old Pier November at Base Charleston in North Charleston, South Carolina. The modification, with a total potential value of $14.8 million, includes work that is necessary to complete construction of new, modernized piers to provide support and logistics for up to five major cutters homeported at the base.
This contract action was supported by funding in the recently enacted One Big Beautiful Bill Act that included nearly $5 billion to address the Coast Guard’s most pressing shore infrastructure needs. Construction is expected to be substantially completed in 2026.
