Port of Redwood City Dredge Support
Located in the south San Francisco Bay, the Port of Redwood City is where the federal shipping channel is maintained by the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). Maintenance dredging occurs almost annually at the port. Since 2010, Woolpert surveyors assisted with dredging operations by providing conditional surveys for large companies such as the Dutra Group, Manson Construction, RE Staite, and Vortex. Woolpert surveyors have set up a semi-permanent RTK base station that broadcasts position corrections via radio telemetry and NTRIP (Networked Transport of RTCM via Internet Protocol).
The survey vessel is equipped with a high-resolution multibeam sonar and has a full processing software suite onboard to decrease data delivery time. An efficient workflow of data collection, processing, quality control, and review is completed onsite prior to delivery. This has enabled Woolpert to quickly deliver high resolution XYZ files to clients, thus minimizing their dredge downtime.
