Ocean outfall maintenance in Myrtle Beach
Salmons Dredging Corporation will begin mobilizing a specialized jackup rig from North Charleston along the Myrtle Beach coastline this weekend. The device, shown here, will conduct maintenance activities on our four deepwater ocean outfalls – 25th Avenue South, Fourth Avenue North, 14thAvenue North and 53rd Avenue North. Funding for this million-dollar maintenance project is coming from the state of South Carolina. The work will begin at 25th Avenue South and move northward. The jackup rig is self-elevating to provide a stable operating environment in the ocean. The crew will remain onsite and will not come onshore during the anticipated 30-35 day marine project. That timeline may change, depending on the weather.
