Ongoing Project:
New Pass Channel & Beach Placement Support
Client: USACOE Jacksonville District
Location: Sarasota County, FL
Volume: 311,000 CY
Actively completing navigation channel dredging and placement of beach-compatible sand on adjacent shorelines in Sarasota County. This project involved hydraulically dredging 300,000+ CY of sand in order to clear the New Pass navigational channel for local mariners and renourishment of Lido Key for continued tourism and resiliency of the beachfront community. The New Pass Maintenance Dredging project required dredging in the dynamic New Pass Inlet as well as the interior portion requiring detailed work around structures. The project includes but is not limited to beach tilling, munitions and explosives of concern (MEC) construction support, vibration monitoring, turbidity monitoring, shorebird monitoring, and marine species monitoring. This work requires coordination with USACE and FDEP permitting frameworks, environmental compliance, and execution in high-traffic marine environments as well as constant beachgoer activity.
Completed Projects
Honeymoon Island State Park – Beach Renourishment & Hurricane Pass Dredging
Client: Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP)
Location: Dunedin, FL
Volume: 140,000 CY
Completion: Winter 2024–2025
Beach renourishment at Honeymoon Island State Park utilizing sand dredged from the adjacent Hurricane Pass inlet. The project included hydraulic dredging operations, sand placement along the eroded shoreline, and full compliance with FDEP Environmental Resource Permits and submerged lands authorizations. Work was performed under active navigation conditions with 24-hour operations, turbidity controls, and marine environmental monitoring. The project restored critical shoreline protection while maintaining safe navigation through the inlet.
Jupiter Inlet Sand Trap Dredging & Beach Nourishment
Client: Jupiter Inlet District
Location: Jupiter, FL
Volume: 100,000 CY
Completion: Spring 2025
Completed maintenance dredging of the Jupiter Inlet sand trap, removing approximately 100,000 cubic yards of beach-compatible material. Dredged material was hydraulically placed on adjacent downdrift beaches to offset erosion caused by inlet sediment migration. The project required precise coordination with environmental windows, sea turtle and marine life monitoring, and continuous channel management to maintain safe navigation throughout construction.
Ponce Inlet Dredging
Client: USACOE Jacksonville District
Location: Ponce Inlet, FL
Volume: 330,000 CY
Completion: Summer 2025
This inlet maintenance dredging project involves hydraulic dredging to restore navigational depths within Ponce Inlet, a critical waterway for commercial and recreational vessel traffic. Preformed dredging operations, pipeline installation, and material placement in accordance with project specifications and regulatory requirements.
Gasparilla Island Beach Renourishment
Client: Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP)
Location: Gasparilla Island, FL
Volume: 150,000 CY
Completion: Winter 2025
This FDEP-managed coastal resiliency project involved offshore dredging and hydraulic placement of beach-compatible sand along Gasparilla Island. Executed pipeline installation, dredging, and beach placement while complying with stringent environmental protection measures, including marine mammal and sea turtle monitoring. The project enhanced shoreline stability and restored storm-damaged beach segments in accordance with state coastal management objectives.
Pinellas County Beach Nourishment Program
Client: Pinellas County, Florida
Location: Multiple Beaches, Pinellas County, FL
Volume: 350,000 CY
Completion: Winter 2025
Participated in the large-scale Pinellas County Beach Nourishment Program, supporting shoreline restoration across multiple Gulf Coast beaches, including Sand Key, Treasure Island, Indian Shores, Redington Shores, Belleair Beach, and Clearwater Beach. The project involved hydraulic dredging, pipeline sand placement, and coordination with county officials and environmental monitors. Work was completed during winter construction windows to align with nesting season restrictions and public safety requirements.
