Harbor Maintenance Dredging

Alaska Marine Excavation won the bid for a multi-year USACE contract to perform annual harbor maintenance dredging of fine-grain shoaled material in the Nome Harbor. This project is completed with one of our hydraulic dredging systems. Discharge of dredged material is then placed on the beach in a designated area via pipeline.
Nome is a remote city, even by Alaska standards. The challenging weather and sea conditions, exposure to the Bering Sea, and limited project time-frame adds another layer of difficulty. Work on the Nome harbor occurs during "ice out," from early- to mid-June until July 31. Alaska Marine always completes the job on-time or prior to the completion date.
AKMX also organizes housing for crew, freight logistics for equipment via barge/air, and all surveys — pre, post, single-beam, and multi-beam.
