Surfers Beach  Pilot Restoration Project  - CONSTRUCTION UPDATES 

A sandy beach with gentle waves, rocks, and distant hills under a clear blue sky.

We’re providing notice of upcoming construction activities that may cause public interference:

  1. Pipeline launch – We will be transporting the second dredge pipeline segments down the slope from the assembly location and placing them in the water.  Pipe sections will cross the pedestrian path at that location during brief intervals. We estimate approximately 1 hour to move and launch each section. We expect to move five sections in total at this time.

Pipeline sections will then be transported up the beach along the breakwater and assembled where the pedestrian trail meets Hwy 1. The pipeline will be  pulled down the slope and transported along the beach at low tide, and then lifted into position at the top of the rip rap slope. This operation is now scheduled to begin on 8/25 and complete by 9/15. Our crews will work with pedestrians and cyclists to allow limited passage during operations as it is safe to do so. 

Secondary Pipeline Re-route – The existing pipeline will also be re-routed upon acceptance of the disposal of dredge material at the eelgrass placement area. This will entail retracking the pipeline from across the harbor and installing it up along the breakwater. From there it will continue along the pedestrian path along the beach to the access ramp, where it will descend to the beach. This work is expected to occur between August 31 and September 15.

2. Establishment of Land Equipment Laydown Area for Beach Placement -

Land equipment will he positioned at the equipment laydown upon the direction of the Owner. This work is expected to occur between August 25 and September 15. 

 

Again, due to ongoing operations, this schedule is subject to change on a day-by-day basis
