Weeks Marine Busy in Hilton Head Island

The Town of Hilton Head Island just announced in its latest update that the beach area between Stuart Place and Ocean Point Way is currently restricted for beach renourishment construction.

Additionally, the Mitchelville Beach area remains closed so construction in this area may be completed.

The Town’s contractor, Weeks Marine, Inc., began the sand pumping operations in this area on June 17, 2016 with its cutterhead suction dredge, CR McCaskill.

During the 5 month renourishment project, worth $20.7 million, construction operations will proceed around the clock and will, on average, move along the shoreline at a rate of about 200 to 300 feet per day.

This week, crews will begin to preposition equipment and pipeline from the north side of the island to the South Beach area.

The goal is to have the pipeline and equipment in place and fenced off before the 4th of July weekend.
