The sand recycle and seawall repair contractor, SJ Hamill, began working on seawall repairs on October 1. They began sand scraping and hauling on October 15. Thanks to some incredible weather and calm seas, they are currently ahead of the initial projected schedule. As of 10/31/24, the contractor has placed 3,000 of the 3,500 tons of armor stone specified for the repairs of the seawall from boardwalk 6 to the Beach Club. They have also hauled and placed 77,000 of the 150,000 specific cubic yardage of sand. The photo below shows the dry sand beach area that has been reestablished between boardwalks 6 and 7.

If our favorable weather conditions continue, we expect to be done placing armor stone from boardwalk 6 to the Beach Club by November 8 and sand scraping could be completed as early as November 22. The next phase of work will be the seawall repair at Beach Club Villas and Dolphin Point. Material staging could begin in this area as early as November 11.

We are grateful for all of the hard work from our engineer, Coastal Science and Engineering, and our contractor, SJ Hamill, to get this project off to a great start.
