Tidal Gate Installation
In April 2015, our crew installed a tidal gate to drain the marsh between the eastern portion of Chalker Beach residential properties and the Summerwood Condominium Association property. The water in the marsh swings with fluctuating tides, however it has recently been draining much slower than usual, causing localized flooding on certain streets in the neighborhood.
Successful installation required our team to use multiple water pumps, build a temporary water diversion barrier, and plan our excavation in-sync with the low tide. A chronological photo timeline is below.
