Scope of Project
Maintenance dredging of St. Herman Harbor in Kodiak Alaska was performed during the summer of 2013 by Western Marine Construction for the U.S. Corps of Engineers, Anchorage District. Hughes & Associates conducted three multibeam hydrographic surveys in support of the dredging operations over a three month period of time. All surveys were performed with an ES3-M 120° echosounder with integrated MRU installed with our custom mobile mounting bracket on a vessel of opportunity.
