Port Royal Canal Dredging
GRAEF was responsible for managing all design, permitting, engineering and construction for the Port Royal Canal Dredging Project. This project included the excavation of 39,000 CY from seven distinct dredge areas with upland dewatering and disposal. Phase 1 dredging of approximately 20,000 CY commenced in late 2013 using mechanical excavation techniques by a barge mounted excavator with a series of two hopper barges used in rotation for the transfer of sediment to an upland site for dewatering.
