Dredging

Hughes & Associates provides hydrographic surveys for dredging projects throughout the State of Alaska. Reoccurring yearly projects that have been performed for numerous years include Dillingham, Ninilchik, Homer, and Nome harbors. Many other harbors and channels have been surveyed in support of dredging operations over the years from Southeast Alaska, through the Aleutian Islands, and all point in-between. Typical dredging support surveys include pre and post dredge surveys, including both bathymetric and upland topographic data collection, with plan view drawings and volume computations provided with the deliverables.

Condition

From 2004 through 2007 and again from 2010 through 2014 Hughes & Associates conducted dozens of Project Condition Surveys, or PCS, for the Corps of Engineers, Alaska District under Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity term contracts. These projects were conducted throughout the coastal regions of Alaska for federally controlled harbors and channels. Over the years of conducting these surveys Hughes & Associates has seen a steady shift from single beam condition surveys to almost an exclusive use of multi-beam survey equipment.

Construction

Hughes & Associates has provided hydrographic surveys for marine construction projects for more than 20 years. These projects have been as varied in their scope as they have in their location. Construction support surveys have been performed for bank revetment, breakwater expansion, and new harbor construction along with any other type of construction that can be found taking place within the marine environment. Hughes & Associates has performed extensive single and multi-beam surveys in support of these projects
