Buxton Beach Nourishment Update Tuesday November 7, 2017
Staff from Coastal Science Engineers presented an update regarding the Buxton beach nourishment project at the November 6 Dare County Board of Commissioners meeting. A .pdf of the presentation can be viewed by clicking here. Due to an upcoming weather event and industrial equipment issues, Weeks Marine pulled the dredge to Jacksonville Monday afternoon for mechanical repairs and to refuel. The dredge will return once weather conditions improve and repairs and refueling are complete. To date 46% of the project is completed.

Buxton Beach Nourishment Update – Thursday October 26, 2017
Thursday October 26, 2017 10:45 a.m.
The hopper dredge R.N. Weeks returned to Buxton around 9 o’clock this morning and has begun pumping sand. Crews will continue working, moving to the south, as long as the weather and wave heights allow for safe operations.
Over the past week, the dredge completed 37 loads (compared to 22 loads the week before) and placed approximately 75,000 cubic yards of sand on the beach.
1,055,337 cubic yards of sand has been placed on the beach since the beginning of construction, which is about 40% of the total project volume. Weeks Marine plans to finish the southern portion of the project in front of Buxton, and then the dredge will move back to the landing site north of the village and complete the beach along the National Seashore.
The estimated date for the arrival of the new hopper dredge Magdalen, which has double capacity of R.N. Weeks, has been yet been determined.

Buxton Beach Nourishment Update – October 23, 2017
Monday, October 23, 2017
After working from the northern subline or landing site for several days last week, the hopper dredge R. N. Weeks connected to the subline near the village’s northern boundary on Saturday and has been pumping sand since approximately 6 p.m. Saturday evening.
With the approaching cold front due to bring high waves, the dredge will depart for Norfolk this evening and return later this week. When the dredge returns, Weeks Marine plans to continue working south through the village of Buxton to the southern project boundary before moving back to the northern portion of the project area to complete the full scope of work.
