Error processing SSI file Structures Design Office - 17th Street Causeway Carina Piers (named after the Latin word "Carina" for the delta-shaped keel of a boat.) Carina Pier Advantages: - Lighter visual impression as compared to conventional bascule piers. - Reduced Bascule Span Length because of the need to build behind existing bascule bridge foundation resulting in: 1. Reduction of Counterweight 2. Saving of Machinery and Electrical Equipment - Larger Transverse Openings - By nestling the Counterweight within the Carina Pier, Approach Span Connections are simplified. - Unique Element - Improved Span Proportions
