PHILADELPHIA — The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Philadelphia District announced the completion of bulkhead repair work at the end of the Point Pleasant Canal in Ocean County, N.J.
USACE previously awarded a contract to UH Services Group, LLC for $3.2 million to repair a portion of severely deteriorated steel bulkhead at the entrance of the Point Pleasant Canal (Manasquan River entrance side of canal along the eastern shoreline).
New steel sheet piling, and associated features were installed along with backfill stone, and the placement of riprap in the water. The bulkhead and associated features were brought up to current design standards to add increased resilience to this portion of the Canal bulkhead.
The Point Pleasant Canal is a component of the New Jersey Intracoastal Waterway federal navigation project which extends from the Manasquan River to the entrance to the Cape May Canal on the Delaware Bay, a total of 117 miles. The New Jersey Intracoastal Waterway provides a safe, reliable, and operational navigation channel for the East Coast’s largest and 5th most valuable commercial fishing fleet in the U.S. (Cape May/Wildwood) and nine U.S. Coast Guard Stations including Cape May training base.
