The Dutra Group’s Hopper Dredge, Stuyvesant, is dredging material from a designated borrow area offshore of Cape Canaveral. This material is transited to Melbourne Beach where it is offloaded through approximately 4,500’ of subline. The material is being used to build a stockpile approximately 26’ high, that has a max capacity of 160,000 CY, which will then be loaded onto road dump trucks and transported to multiple staging areas in the “Mid-Reach.” Once the material is dumped at these staging areas, it is reloaded into offroad trucks and transited down the beach where it is graded to template.
This is a multi-season project that will be placing material on the beaches of Melbourne Beach, Satellite Beach, Indialantic, and Indian Harbor Beach.
