Pacific Dredge & Construction continues to make a presence in San Francisco Bay with the Richmond Inner Harbor maintenance dredging project awarded by The US Army Corps of Engineers. Typically, this work is performed annually by mechanical dredging to minus 37 ft MMLW. Dredged material is discharged ashore or offshore at SF-DODS. The work was composed of 10 different Reaches along the main channel. The purpose was to maintain a proper depth that would allow the safe transit of large vessels through the area. To successfully execute this project, PDC partnered with subcontractor MANSON Construction Co. that helped dredge a portion of the project. PDC dredge plant PDC180 was working 24/7 with an experienced crew that understands the mechanisms of the operations in the Bay Area. More than 390,000 yd3 were dredged during the course of this project. During the project, PDC worked closely with the USCG and marine traffic due to the high volume of vessel traffic transiting the navigational channel. The strong winds and currents found in San Francisco Bay challenged their captains as well. |
