It’s truly inspiring to see the craftsmanship of our skilled workforce showcased in projects like the R.B. Weeks and Magdalen, as they work diligently to restore Florida’s coastlines:
For decades, Weeks Marine has played a vital role in protecting and strengthening America’s coastal zones. Our North Ponte Vedra Beach Renourishment Project is just one example of our coastal restoration efforts.
We recently kicked off the project in St. Johns County, Florida, where we will work on placing two million cubic yards of sand along nine miles of the Ponte Vedra Beach shoreline. The project will restore storm-damaged dunes and berms and provide storm protection to upland infrastructure. This effort will also add more environmental habitats for wildlife and provide a better experience for visitors.
The newest hopper in our dredging fleet, the R.B. Weeks, is currently on the project and will be joined by her sister vessel, the Magdalen, at the end of April.
Work is expected to be completed by the end of June 2024.
