New Jersey Windport Uses High-Strength Geotextile Fabric
To make the acreage useable for heavy hauling at a New Jersey Windport, it was necessary to overload the subsoils with a large embankment of fill, reinforced with high-strength geotextile fabric, to accelerate the settling anticipated with the fine-grained saturated soils.
Challenge
The New Jersey Wind Port is the first Hub-style marshalling and manufacturing port project to serve offshore wind projects up and down the East Coast.
The timeline for project completion was tight, intending to finish the Marshalling Port by 2024. To make the acreage useable for heavy hauling, it was necessary to overload the subsoils with a large fill embankment to quicken the settlement anticipated by the fine-grained saturated soils.
Solution
Moffat and Nichol Engineering provided a state-of-the-art design. In accordance with the design, wick drains were to be installed beneath an embankment reinforced with a high-strength geotextile fabric.
In order to adhere to the tight project timeline, Walker Diving reached out to Ferguson Industrial. They challenged our procurement team to deliver the high-strength geotextile in just six to eight weeks. As a result of our relationship with top-tier manufacturers, the geotextile was manufactured and delivered on time with the assistance of Huesker Inc. in Shelby, NC.
