Post-Florence project moving along nicely March 10, 2021, by Zlatan Hrvacevic
Great Lakes Dredge & Dock and their hopper dredge Liberty Island yesterday delivered the last load of sand to Reach 1 (Far West Emerald Isle) of the post-Florence Renourishment Project.
After completing the Reach 1, GLDD moved to the next location and placed the first load of sand in Central Emerald Isle (Reach 3).
In order to complete the project before the April 30th deadline, GLDD’s second hopper dredge (the Ellis Island) is now expected to arrive on the site a day or two early (March 15th or 16th).
According to the Carteret County, the Ellis Island will serve the “3rd Pipeline Landing” as the Liberty Island will continue to work on “Line 2”.
Great Lakes Dredge & Dock’s hopper dredge Liberty Island has started dredging and pumping operations for the PHASE III of the post-Florence Renourishment Project.
