Project Description
A critical dredging project for Palm Beach Harbor to allow larger vessels to be able to navigate their waters. Our dredging team dredged approximately 100,000 cubic yards of material in the harbor’s entrance channel and settling basin.
Major Challenges
The intial disposal site was in a difficult location that was close to the beach and in pounding surf. At times it was impossible to fully empty the scow because of such shallow conditions.
Project Highlights
Collaborated with the owner to find a new disposal site after we encountered difficult conditions with shallow water and dangerous surf at the initial dump site. Completed the project without any accidents, injuries or near misses.
Project Scope
Excavation of 55,000 cubic yards at the entrance channel, settlinng basin, and expanded settling basin. With optional excavation of 45,000 cubic yards in the extended settling basin and expanded settling basin.
