Long Bird Island Houston Ship Channel (HSC)
Expansion Channel Improvement Project (ECIP)
Project 11: Bolivar Roads to Redfish
65,000 tons of stone placed directly from a barge and truck hauled onto a soft dredge fill environmental island stone size ranged from 2” to 2,200 #. 3.9 acres of shell hash for bird habitat, 4.0 acres of oyster reef. Flotation channel dredging.
Worked for Port Houston and a subcontractor to Great Lakes.
Rio Grande LNG-Brazos Island Harbor Phase 1 Channel Improvements
Our scope of work was to build 12,266 LF of shoreline protection along the Brownsville ship channel. We placed 78,600 tons of bedding stone (650 lb rip rap) and 87,000 tons of armor stone (7400 lb armor stone). The armor stone and bedding stone was sourced from Texas and trucked into the site. We constructed two stockpile areas to stockpile the bedding and armor stone as it was being trucked to the site.
We then reloaded off road trucks and transported down the haul road that was constructed the entire length of the shoreline protection to allow the off road trucks to deliver the stone to the areas receiving the shoreline protection. We finished the project 2 months early.
Gulf Shores Drive Norriego Point Stabilization & Restoration Project
Norriego Point is at the termination of Gulf Shore Drive on Holiday Isle, City of Destin, Okaloosa County, Florida. The project consisted of constructing shoreline stabilization structures along and offshore of Norriego Point and to restore the beach and dune areas of the Point.
The sand fill material to restore the beach and dune areas was dredged from the Federal East Pass and Destin Harbor Navigation Channels. The project consisted of driving heavy composite sheet piling and light composite sheet piling (40,590 sf), dredging in beach fill ( 115,000 cy) to restore Norriego Point along with upland grading to build the sand dunes, placing 103,000 SF of marine mattress on the sea floor up against the sheet pile wall, then placing core and armor stone (36,200 tons) on top of the marine mattresses. Once all the upland grading was completed concrete caps and timber caps were placed on the sheet pile walls. This project added additional beach front for the tourists and locals to enjoy and also protected the marina.
