Savannah Harbor Savannah Harbor Expansion Project (SHEP) Inner Harbor Deepening Savannah, Georgia This recently completed project required pumping hard materials up to 8 miles away while working in one of the busiest shipping channels on the East Coast. Delaware River Delaware River Main Channel Deepening – Reach B When we unexpectedly encountered large rocks that were too large to pump, we had to work with the Army Corps to find a solution. The careful placement of the rocks formed underwater reefs for fish habitat in the Delaware Bay. San Juan Harbor San Juan, Puerto Rico Up to ten vertical feet of virgin hard limestone was removed without blasting using hard digging clamshell buckets. This increased the port’s container cargo capacity and their competitiveness. Beach Re-nourishment Sand Key Clearwater, Florida This beach fill project included shorebird, turtle and vibration monitoring while riding out a major hurricane. Canaveral Sand Bypass Brevard County, Florida Sand Bypass System, Phase V The dredge Charleston had to be positioned in the surf zone in water as shallow as 14 feet deep, so we could “relocate” the sand from the north side of the inlet to the south. Prime Hook Milton, Delaware Pumping 25,000 gallons of sand slurry per minute we closed off an existing inlet before building the adjacent beach. Fire Island Inlet and Jones Inlet New York Sandpiles were used to rebuild dunes and roads destroyed by hurricane Sandy. Construction Dredging Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel Chesapeake, Virginia Called one of “the seven engineering marvels of the world,” construction began on the 17.5 mile Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel in 1961. Norfolk Dredging’s responsibility, among the several dredging firms participating, was to construct the two tunnel trenches between Cape Charles and Virginia Beach, VA. New Midtown Tunnel Norfolk, Virginia Extremely precise dredging alongside an existing and active tunnel was required to complete this $1.5 billion dollar project. Depths in excess of 90 feet were achieved to very tight tolerances for the placement of new traffic tunnels. Southern LNG Savannah, Georgia Working in the very close proximity of an ongoing major marine construction project, we pumped over 3,000,000 cubic yards of material over 28,000 feet to create a ship berthing area out of what was previously dry land. Boston Hub Line Boston, Massachusetts Rough winter weather and thick deck ice were just two hurdles to overcome as we dug hard material 120 feet deep adjacent to an active high pressure gas pipeline. Maintenance Dredging Delaware River Philadelphia to the Sea A strong current, high shoaling rates and contract shipping traffic are some of the challenges we faced in maintaining the 45 foot channels of the Delaware River. Norfolk Naval Station Norfolk, Virginia Removing approximately one million cubic yards of material from the Navy piers was required to safely keep afloat our nation’s warships, including the brand new carrier USS Gerald R. Ford. Canaveral Harbor Brevard County, Florida The clamshell dredges ATLANTIC and VIRGINAN dredged over 600,000 cubic yards of material with offshore disposal while making special efforts to avoid the many manatees and sea turtles in the project area. Baltimore Harbor Baltimore, Maryland Millions of cubic yards of maintenance material are hauled up to 35 miles in scows and then hydraulically unloaded at the Poplar Island material management site.
