Project Description
Sacramento Deep Water Ship Channel (DWSC) Maintenance Dredging Project, Sacramento and Yolo County Counties, California.
Major Challenges
One of the major challenges of this project is working in the difficult river conditions and strong currents, which require specialized equipment and techniques to safely and effectively perform the dredging operations.
Project Highlights
A key project highlight is the incorporation of mechanical dredging methods, which provide the owner with a more surgical and cost-effective approach compared to traditional dredging techniques. This approach also supports the ongoing wetland restoration efforts in the area.
Project Scope
The work includes annual maintenance dredging of the Sacramento River DWSC to -30ft (MLLW) plus 1-ft of paid over-depth and transporting of the dredged material to various upland disposal sites listed.
