Port of Tacoma - Confined Disposal Facility Project -Stage 1 Containment Berm

The Port of Tacoma Slip 1, was converted to a Nearshore Confined Disposal Facility in November 2003. JJM constructed a containment berm across the mouth of Slip 1 in order to create an enclosed basin for the placement of the dredge sediments.
This unique project involved the movement of 370,000 yd3 of material. On-site construction operations had to be coordinated to provide uninterrupted vessel traffic through the Waterway at all times. A water quality-monitoring program was also implemented to ensure construction activities were performed in such a manner as to ensure minimal environmental impacts.
