Beacon Marine was hired to construct a new pier for this homeowner in Osterville. The crew started with the removal of the homeowner’s old pier and completed the new pier with IPE, thru-flow decking, a handrail and float, as well as a kayak rack. This pier gives the property owner immediate access to the water, which provides a long-term maintenance free and quality finish on this pier for the duration of its lifespan.

Project Completion: December, 2015
Details: Dredging of approximately 1000 CY of material from the Seapuit River in Osterville. The sandy material was used to nourish the beach and dune system adjacent to the river. All of the equipment had to be mobilized by barge. The project was completed in under 1 week. Throughout the winter months the sand was able to protect the beach from further erosion. Mechanical dredging methods were used to dig the river to -8′ MLW. See a write up on the project here: http://www.dredgingtoday.com/2016/02/12/beacon-marine-osterville-dredging-scheme-wrapped-up/
