JJID, INC.
DNREC Summit North Marina
The site was located on one of the oldest private- public partnerships in the State of Delaware — Summit North Marina in Bear, DE. The original design of using onsite soils and mining from the dredge-disposal spoils area to raise the dike walls proved to be an infeasible path forward due to heavy concentration of organics
in the soil and soil moisture content. JJID worked with DNREC and the design engineer to modify the design from onsite mining to the importing of structural fill of 13,000 cubic yards of DelDOT Class F soil to raise the dike walls. The project needed a complete redesign to ensure its success. A seasonal shutdown for dredging further complicated the ability to perform work, and site access was extremely limited. JJID overcame project challenges by working with stakeholders and partnering with their engineering, specialized equipment, and techniques, as well as their best-in-class workforce.
