Coastal communities in Virginia face growing pressure from erosion, storms and rising sea levels (1). Beach nourishment—adding suitable sand to an eroding shoreline—can restore beach width, strengthen its coastal-defense function and help reduce risks to nearby communities and infrastructure. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers identifies beach nourishment as one method used to reduce damage… Read More
US Army Corps of Engineers Galveston District just put $95 million behind a different kind of dredging strategy: don’t predict exactly where the shoaling will happen. Build the contracting capacity to respond when it does. The District established a five-year IDIQ Multiple Award Task Order Contract for unanticipated shoaling hopper dredging at multiple locations across… Read More
