Lock and Dam 7 Sheet Pile Installation Project

Manson Construction Company recently receives a dredging project of the Freeport Harbor Entrance and Jetty channels in Brazoria County, Texas.

Freeport Harbor is located on the Texas Gulf Coast approximately 50 miles south of Houston. The deep-draft navigation project consists of an 8.5 mile, 45-feet deep channel that extends from the Gulf of Mexico, through a jettied inlet, to a turning basin at the Freeport Port facilities.

Manson is required to remove approximately 2,517,000 cubic yards of shoal material using a hopper dredge, with material being placed in an offshore placement area. Work is expected to begin in August 2016 with an estimated completion date of December 2016.

This harbor dredging operation will ensure the channels remain clear for commercial navigation, which is vital to the Port of Freeport as it services one of the nation’s top petrochemical complexes.
