Buxton Beach Nourishment Update – August 23, 2017

/0 Comments/in , /by

Wednesday, August 23, 2017   2:00 p.m.

Due to the upcoming marine forecast, the cutter dredge C.R. McCaskill will be leaving Buxton on Thursday, August 24 to ensure safety for the crew and equipment.  Since the dredge is likely to be offsite for at least seven to ten days, Weeks Marine has decided to utilize this downtime to have the U.S. Coast Guard’s mandatory dry dock inspection performed. The dredge will sail to Charleston, SC for a two week dry dock period and then return to Buxton to resume work.

The hopper dredge R.N. Weeks is scheduled to arrive in mid September and the current plan is to operate both dredges (the McCaskill and the R.N. Weeks) until the project is completed.

Additional updates will be provided as new information becomes available.

Coastal Science and Engineering (CSE), project manager for the Buxton Beach Nourishment Project, provided a detailed update at the Dare County Board of Commissioners’ meeting on Monday morning, August 7. CSE discussed production improvement measures that are being considered to expedite construction. They reported that Weeks Marine is hoping to bring a second dredge and will work through inspections and other requirements in an effort to bring the ‘B.E. Lindham’ hopper dredge on site in the next 10 – 15 days.

To view the PowerPoint presentation from CSE, click here.

Video of the presentation will be posted on MoreBeachtoLove.com as soon as available.

The next update will be issued as soon as work on the project resumes, or sooner if updated information becomes available

Buxton Beach Nourishment Update – August 4, 2017

 August 4, 2017  5 p.m.

Weeks Marine pumped sand steadily this morning and shut down operations just before 3 p.m. due to rising sea conditions.

With the dredge shut down, Weeks Marine’s beach crew plans to disconnect the pipes in front of the Cape Hatteras Motel and grade the newly nourished beach and open it to the public.  When sea conditions subside, work will proceed a short distance to the north of the current landing point to complete the section between the previous landing point and the current landing point to the full design volume.  Once that section of beach is completed, pumping will resume south.

As work resumes south through the village of Buxton, remember to use caution, stay out of marked-off work zones, and adhere to instructions and signs posted by construction crews on site.  Please keep in mind that schedules and plans are subject to change.

The next update will be issued when work resumes.

Buxton Beach Nourishment Update … Wednesday, August 2, 2017 … Pumping Resumed

After having to shut down pumping operations on Friday morning, July 29 due to rough sea conditions, the pumping of sand resumed this afternoon just after 4:00 p.m. Construction is moving to the south and has approached the north end of Buxton.

Rough sea conditions on Friday, August 4 may lead to another delay over the weekend, but Weeks Marine estimates that if the current forecast holds, sea conditions will allow them to work for approximately four days over the coming week.

At this point, approximately 22% of the project has been completed. Updates will be provided as additional information is available.
