The dredging project in Indiana is underway

/in

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.

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.

It is reported that a dredger has arrived at Lake Cathie and will be moved into position over the coming days, Port Macquarie-Hastings Council said in their latest release.

Approximately 21,000 cubic meters of sand will be dredged, and relocated to the edge of Foreshore Reserve to reclaim open space that has been lost to erosion in recent years.Sand will also be relocated for beach replenishment along approximately 400m of the beach, fronting Illaroo Rd, the council said.

It is significant to conduct this dredging .Dredging operations, to be conducted by National Dredging Solutions, are expected to take approximately 7 weeks to complete (weather permitting).Dredging operations are expected to start on Monday, 21 May.

The emergency dredging at Ettalong channel

/in

It is reported that NSW Lands Minister Paul Toole visited Ettalong this morning to announce the government would contribute a quarter of a million dollars towards emergency works.

“The NSW government is going to provide around $250,000 of funding for emergency dredging,” he said.He also said an estimated 20,000 cubic metres of sand would have to be removed and it would take anywhere from two to four weeks to get ferries back up and running.Emergency dredging is completely separate to the Rescuing Our Waterways 50/50 funding. Mr Toole said if council had been making earlier applications for the Rescuing Our Waterways funding over the past few years, the channel would not be in this situation.

The project will benefit local people and environment.It is significant to conduct this project.
