Project Story
Marine Resources Council at the TED Moorehead Lagoon House called us for 150 feet of breakwater placement in front of their shell midden, an archaeological site. This project was on a very tight schedule as their permit was set to expire & their previous vendor had failed to deliver – therefore we had 60 days. 60 days to have new permits, manufacture, deliver, and install.
During the project, we produced 37 of our 1200# units and were installed in 3 sections and placed 10' from shore. The structures were all placed via a barge-free, manually deployment system dubbed the "Low Profile Deployment System".
This system allowed us to deploy our sections with 6 men across 4 days. We were thankful for this project was eligible for a DEP permit exemption and received an USACE permit quickly. The breakwater project was successful with our March 2024 deployment.
