Project Detail

Project: Dredging & Aircraft Carrier Wharf (Sub to Nova Group, Inc.)
Owner: U.S. Navy
Start date: 11/11/1996
Finish date: 7/28/1997
Value: $2,598,371.70

Shallow water habitat was created using a large hydraulic excavator and a dragline equipped crane to excavate 500,000CY of sediment from a 15 acre upland area adjacent to the San Diego Bay. The sediment was used as fill, which was then compacted to create the 15 acre site of the new carrier wharf. During excavation we encountered unexploded ordnance, which necessitated an in-house designed proprietary screening system to remove ordnance before transportation to the fill site. A total of 55 barrage rockets were removed.
