The USACE Galveston District has just released this very interesting video named ‘Houston Ship Channel New Construction of Beltway 8 Placement Area’.
According to USACE, this is a new construction dredge material placement area at the Beltway 8 portion of Segment 4 of the Houston Ship Channel Expansion, also known as Project 11 .
The new placement area will safely contain the sediment and other materials removed from the channel during dredging operations.
Project 11 adds significant value to the nation by enhancing a critical piece of economic infrastructure by enabling the channel to accommodate larger vessels and more ship traffic, USACE concluded.
