CONCORD, Mass. –
The north jetty feature of the Hampton Harbor Federal navigation project in Hampton,
New Hampshire, will be repaired under the terms of a $1,988,600.00 contract
issued recently by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New England District. Work
will be accomplished by Mohawk Northeast, Inc., of Plantsville, Conn. Construction
is scheduled to start on or about Sept. 15, 2016 and take about 3 – 4 months to
complete. The contract was awarded on May 9, 2016.
The
project consists of repairing several sections of the north jetty feature of
the Federal navigation project at Hampton Harbor. “The north jetty was damaged
during Hurricane Sandy and subsequent storms,” said Project Manager Bill
Kavanaugh, of the Corps’ New England District, Programs and Project Management Division
in Concord, Mass. “Approximately 3,320 tons of armor stone will be required to
make repairs to 4 identified work areas of the jetty.”
The
work involves removing, replacing and reworking existing armor stone as well as
placing new armor and core stone along the jetty. The repaired areas will be
properly interlocked and be within specified design tolerances. The stones will
vary in size from 3-4 tons and 6-10 tons. Due to shallow water depths adjacent
to the landward end of the jetty, work at this end may be performed from land;
the remainder of the work requires a marine based plant. Protection of piping
plovers and their habitat limits construction from Sept. 1 to March 31.
The
project will be managed by the Corps under the supervision of a Corps’ Quality
Assurance Representative to assure compliance with contract requirements. For information
