Dredging of Housatonic River Will Start This Fall

/in

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New England District, awarded the $9.3 million contract to Cashman Dredging and Marine Contracting Company of Quincy, Mass. The work will be performed over a three to four months between Oct. 1 and Jan. 31, 2018, for shoals inside Milford Point, and between Oct. 1 and Feb. 28 for shoals seaward of Milford Point.

The last dredging of the Housatonic was in November 2012 when the Corps’ dredge Currituck removed about 50,000 yards of shoal material. This project will take nearly 300,000 cubic yards(a cubic yard of sand weighs nearly three tons) of clean, fine sand from the Housatonic’s shallow navigation channel and move it to Connecticut’s premier beachfront park, Hammonasset Beach State Park in Madison.

The sand will be transported by barge to re-nourish the eroding beach at Hammonasset and this will really improve the beach up at Hammonasset. The Connecticut Port Authority has followed through with the finding for this project.

Poole Harbour Expansion Project

/in

Jenkins Marine has been assisting BAM Nuttall with the new £10 million quayside construction development in Poole harbor (the South Quay Project).

The new quay will need approximately 1,800 tons of steel piles, all of which will be delivered by sea. Jenkins Marine is also providing assistance with demolition work for existing structures, dredging, and additional piling barges.

The project, which is due for completion by the end of 2017, will ensure that the Port remains competitive with facilities that can accommodate a much wider range of shipping and marine activities.

The expansion of the port will be able to accommodate vessels up to 220m long in a variety of different sectors including yacht transportation, bulk cargo, short sea containers and project cargo.

Maintenance Dredging Project of Cargo terminal

/in

Port of Port Angeles plans to pursue an estimated $700,000 berth maintenance dredging project for its cargo terminal, Terminal 3.

The work is planned to dredge about 6,300 cubic yards of material from the berth area, bringing the seafloor to about 45 feet below sea level.

The pier is used by two companies to transport debarked logs from the Olympic Peninsula to markets in China.

Last year, 15 cargo vessels were loaded at the pier and transported 84 million board feet of logs overseas, providing $2.35 million in revenue for dockage, wharfage, and service.

There are two options for what to do with the dredged material, ranging from disposing of the sediment in the water to disposing of it upland.

One option would have dredged material placed on port property. The other upland option, estimated to cost $2.5 million, would have had the sediment disposed of at a landfill in Eastern Washington or Oregon.

It was estimated the project would take about two weeks and that permitting for the project will take about eight months.
