Orion team wrapping up South Texas Gateway Project February 24, 2021, by Zlatan Hrvacevic
Orion Marine Group yesterday thanked the Orion teams for their continued work on the South Texas Gateway Project in Ingleside, Texas.
Over the past 2.5 years, Orion’s Dredging and Gulf Coast Marine Construction team has helped deliver the first near shore VLCC terminal in the US.
The facility was constructed on a 212-acre waterfront parcel at the mouth of Corpus Christi Bay.
The project called for massive dredging at the site to allow the safe berthing and loading of very large crude carriers (VLCCs).
In total, over 2.6 million cubic yards of dredged material was removed to allow the construction and installation of two tanker berths.
