A large yellow lattice boom crane lifts a dredge barge complete with cutter head attachment over a coastal waterway during a waterway maintenance operation. Workers in high-visibility safety gear observe the heavy lift operation from the shoreline as the vessel is suspended above the water. On April 20, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Charleston District, marked a milestone on the Isle of Palms by completing two forward-thinking dredging and sand placement efforts. Through the Breach Inlet Beneficial Use Projects, the team transformed routine maintenance of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (AIWW) into an opportunity, relocating approximately 700,000 cubic yards of beach-quality sand to strengthen and sustain the island’s coastal system, turning necessity into ingenuity.
