NASA Wallops Breakwaters and Beach Renourishment Project

This project involved building six offshore breakwater structures with a granite armor stone system. Over 50,000 tons of stone were used in the construction of these breakwaters. Additionally, the work consisted of the excavation, truck haul, and placement of 1,300,000 CY of beach sand material. The sand was procured from a borrow area along the northeast shoreline of Wallops Island and placed along the southern area in the beach fill template. The average distance of truck haul was 4.5 miles along the shoreline. This project was completed in collaboration with the USACE Norfolk District and NASA Wallops Flight Facility.
