Site work for a water / sewer project in Unalaska, Alaska. Conceptual plans call for site work for a water / sewer project.

This project includes the engineering, permitting, and dredging at the faces of the Light Cargo Dock and the Unalaska Marine Center positions 17. It will complement other capital projects in the Port, namely the dredging of the entrance channel. Larger vessels will be able to enter into Dutch Harbor, and now we need to ensure the depth of the dock face coincides with the new traffic. The depths at the Unalaska Marine Center vary from -32 and -45 at MLLW. Dredging at the face of the Unalaska Marine Center would create a constant -45 from Positions 1-7. This will accommodate deeper draft vessels throughout the facility. The existing sheet pile is driven to approximately - 58 . and dredging to -45 will not undermine the existing sheet pile. This project is primarily to accommodate large class vessels. Many of the vessels currently calling the Port must adjust ballast to cross the entrance channel and dock inside the harbor. This project timeline coincides with other dredging projects, including the Light Cargo Dock (LCD). Dredging in front of the Light Cargo Dock will also make this dock more accessible for current customers. Vessels using the Light Cargo Dock that draws more than 22'. must place another vessel between the dock face and their vessel in order to get enough water under the keel. As of December 7, 2022, this project is included in the City of Unalaska FY 2022-2031 Budget CIP. Information regarding a design team and the contractor selection has not been disclosed. A firm timeline for construction has not been established. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP). A CIP is a financial schedule for short- and long-range projects which is updated regularly. Information listed in the CIP often evolves based on funding availability and the project details, including timeline and value, are subject to change. The content management team will continue to pursue additional details as they become available.
