Dredging Operations

• Hydraulic Cutterhead Dredge: The primary dredging was performed using a hydraulic cutter head dredge, which efficiently removed sand from the waterway.
• Support Equipment: The operation required the use of barges, tugboats, pipelines, and land-based equipment such as dozers to facilitate both the dredging and placement activities.
• Material Placement: Dredged material was transported and placed along the shoreline of Smith Point County Park to enhance coastal resilience and provide additional beach area. An upland stockpile of 10,000 – 20,000 CY was also established for future use.

Compliance and Regulations The project adhered to all federal, state, and approved local criteria required by government agencies with jurisdiction over the dredging and placement sites. Ensuring compliance with these regulations was crucial for the project’s successful execution.

Environmental and Safety Considerations Environmental stewardship was a key focus throughout the project. Measures were taken to minimize the environmental impact of the dredging and placement activities. Strict safety protocols were also implemented to protect the workforce and the surrounding environment.

TITAN’s Role and ContriTITAN’s Sonsultants provided essential safety oversight for the project by assigning a dedicated Site Safety and Health Officer (SSHO). The SSHO’s responsibilitiesSSHO’sdeSSHO’sety Management:

• • Ensuring compliance with all safety regulations and protocols.
  • Conducting regular safety inspections and assessments to identify and mitigate potential hazards.
  • Implementing and monitoring comprehensive safety plans to protect workers and the environment.
• Quality Control:
  • Overseeing the dredging process to ensure it met all project specifications and quality standards.
  • We are coordinating with project stakeholders to ensure smooth project execution and adherence to timelines.

Project Highlights

• Scope of Work: Maintenance dredging up to 110,000 CY of sand from the Long Island Intracoastal Waterway at Moriches Bay.
• Material Placement: Dredged sand was placed along the Smith Point County Park shoreline, and a 10,000 – 20,000 CY upland stockpile was created.
• Depth Achievement: Dredging to a depth of -6 feet MLLW plus 2 feet allowable over depth.
• Environmental Focus: Compliance with all federal, state, and local regulations to minimize environmental impact.
• Titan’s ContributTitan’san’s son is a Site Safety and Health Officer, ensuring strict adherence to safety protocols and quality standards.
