| Description |
| | This project was for the development of an LNG berthing facility for a new power plant on India's west coast, involving creation of a new channel and an adjacent turning basin. Excavating soft sediments, Great Lakes used a hopper dredge to remove 1,200,000 cubic meters of clay from the channel and turning basin, digging to a depth of 14 meters, and transported the dredged material to an offshore disposal area. A hydraulic chisel was used for fragmentation of 300,000 cubic meters of hard granite over an area of 450,000 square meters. This material was excavated by bucket-ladder dredge, loading material into barges for deposition at sea. Additionally, the project required excavation for a foundation in advance of new breakwater construction. |
