Manson at Work in Sabine-Neches Waterway

摘要

On May 4, Manson Construction Company began a maintenance dredging project in Sabine Pass, the first inland channel in the Sabine-Neches Waterway (SNWW) on the Texas-Louisiana border. The 2013 tonnage figures place the waterway as third in the nation, and the contract requires that the dredging not interrupt the heavy shipping traffic. The contract was awarded on April 9 for $4,219,500, and is expected to be complete in mid-September. Henry Schorr, Jr., vice president of Manson Construction, explained that it will coordinate with vessel traffic service, the Coast Guard and pilots by standing by on the local traffic frequency and on channel 16, a marine VHF radio frequency used for shipping and maritime purposes.
