Summary[edit]
.jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description | VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. -- One of the drag arms of the dredge vessel Currituck. Operating much like a giant vacuum cleaner to dredge a channel, the drag arms are lowered over the side to the channel bottom. While the Currituck travels forward at a speed of approximately two knots, the two drag arms suck a water and sand mixture, known as slurry, from the channel bottom. The slurry passes through the drag heads and pipelines into the hopper. The Currituck was off the Virginia coast from July 18-21, 2012 to dredge the federal channel of Rudee Inlet. The Currituck, one of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ dredges, is a highly utilized resource throughout coastal projects along the East Coast. During this project, approximately 7,715 cubic yards was dredged. The Wilmington, NC-based Currituck will return to Virginia next year to dredge anticipated shoaling in the channel.
