A Bay Shore company has secured a multimillion dollar contract for a New Hampshire project.
H&L Contracting, LLC, a Bay Shore company, will be handling ongoing dredging in New Hampshire's Hampton Harbor. The Army Corps of Engineers expects that the dredging and disposal operations will take four or five months to finish, putting the end date in early March 2020. Brochure printing can be used in situation like this to illustrate a company's operations and techniques.
The project consists of hydraulically dredging about 150,000 cubic yards of material for an eight-foot channel in the harbor, and three six-foot-deep anchorages at the river's mouth. The dredged material will then be pumped onto beaches in Seabrook and Hampton, New Hampshire.
The dredging is being done to make sure users can navigate through Hampton Harbor safely. Over time, shoals have built up in the harbor, reducing the water depth significantly. In Seabrook's eight-foot Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW) channel, the depth is sometimes as shallow as one foot. The Mean Lower Low Water figure is calculated in areas with two tides, and is the average of the lowest low tides.
In some channels and anchorages that should be should be six to eight feet deep, shoaling has reduced the depth to two and one-half to four feet, making navigation in the harbor hazardous, or completely impossible when the tide is out.
