12OCT2018 - NEWS - Dredging work in the Charleston Harbor Entrance Channel is in progress

Dredging in the Charleston Harbor Entrance Channel is underway as the first part of the Post 45 Harbor Deepening Project. Working on the first two contracts for the $529 million project, three dredges and roughly 40 support vessels began deepening and extending the Entrance Channel to 54 feet in March. Great Lakes Dredge and Dock Company (GLDD) was awarded both contracts for the Entrance Channel. The excavator dredge New York is being used to scoop out larger chunks of material, compared to the finer material created by the cutterhead dredges.
