This additional $79 million will be used in 2018 to repair breakwaters, dredge harbors and complete various projects and studies throughout the Great Lakes.Arcadia Harbor will receive $225,000 and Frankfort Harbor will receive $400,000 for dredging work.The Detroit District’s work plan increase of $79 million includes 21 dredging projects and four repair, replacement, or construction projects. Significant funding ($57,580,000) will be applied to the Soo Locks to help further asset renewal projects and the major rehabilitation of key components of the MacArthur and Poe Locks.

It is reported that a dredging project in Indiana is underway.

The contractors, a joint venture with Kokosing Construction Company, Ohio and O’Brien and Gere, Illinois, will dredge approximately 120,000 cubic yards this dredge cycle.Over the next few years, the entire federal channel will be dredged to congressionally-authorized navigation depths, including the removal of sediments in adjacent berthing and docking areas at a nonfederal expense.The navigation project consists of a harbor channel ranging in depth from 27 to 29 feet low water datum, and two canals with depths of 22 feet. The project includes the operation and maintenance of the East Chicago, Ind., confined disposal facility.

The dredging project in Indiana is underway

It is reported that dredging works resumed at Indiana Harbor June 4, 2018, and will continue through fall 2018, a continuation of the dredging that began in September 2017 and stopped November 2017 for the winter season.

The contractors, a joint venture with Kokosing Construction Company, Ohio and O’Brien and Gere, Illinois, will dredge approximately 120,000 cubic yards this dredge cycle. The navigation project consists of a harbor channel ranging in depth from 27 to 29 feet low water datum, and two canals with depths of 22 feet. The project includes the operation and maintenance of the East Chicago, Ind., confined disposal facility.

This kind of dredging is very significant. Since 2012, over 1 million cubic yards of sediment has been removed from the waterway and confined, greatly reducing the contaminants that had previously been washing into Lake Michigan, and improving the efficiency of deep draft commercial navigation.

$15 million for dredging in Dare Country

/in

It is reported that the General Assembly’s 2019 fiscal budget passed Friday morning includes setting up permanent dredging capacity for Oregon Inlet and other North Carolina shallow draft navigation channels.

The legislation allocates $15 million to Dare County to provide a forgivable loan to a private partner for purchasing a shallow draft hopper dredge. Dare County must issue a request for proposals for a private entity by Aug. 1, 2018. Some 60 days after the deadline for proposals, a private partner must be selected. The loan would be paid back by a reduced charge for dredging work. That cost-savings must total $15 million by the end of the loan agreement. If not, the private entity must repay the difference to Dare County which forwards the remainder to the state.

It is significant to conduct this dredging project to local environment,and it will benefit so many aspects to various areas.

Dredging Project in Flinders Ports has been Approved

/in

It is reported that Planning Minister Stephan Knoll announced today that the South Australian Government is giving Flinders Ports the green light to widen the Outer Harbor shipping channel to increase the region’s export capacity and grow the economy.

The project involves dredging 1.55 million m³ of material along 7 km of channel and disposing dredge spoil over a 7 km by 5 km area into deep water (>30 m) in the middle of Gulf St Vincent, approximately 30 km from Outer Harbor.According to Flinders Ports, the volume is approximately half the amount of material that was removed from Outer Harbor in the 2005 Channel Deepening project, not double as suggested in recent media coverage.

This project is significant to local environment.Flinders Ports is planing to begin dredging works in Autumn 2018. This will avoid dredging in summer when seagrass is more susceptible to damage from turbidity impacts.

A dredging project will begin at point Grey, Mandurah

/in

It is reported that a dredging project will begin at point Grey,Mandurah.Maintenance dredging that will widen and restore safe navigation depths to the Point Grey Channel-the waterway linking the Peel Inlet.

“The $675,000 project will take three months to complete and see approximately 13,000 cubic meters of sand taken from the channel,” Mr Jenkins said. “The dredged material, to be pumped through a series of floating and submerged pipes, has been approved to be deposited in the Peel Inlet 600 meters north east of the eastern end of the channel.”

This project is significant to local area.An additional barge will also be located approximately 600 meters east of the Harvey Channel, connected to floating pipeline. This area will be delineated with yellow marker buoys, equipped with flashing yellow lights.
