  • The New Jersey Department of Transportation, in collaboration with Mobile Dredging & Video Pipe, Inc., is currently undertaking the first phase of the back bay dredge project.
    This initiative targets the removal of fine sand and silt from multiple channels, including Beach Creek, Ottens Canal, and Post Creek.
    With three staging areas set up, completion of the dredging operations is anticipated by April and May 2024, respectively, contributing to improved waterway navigation and environmental quality.
    The Wildwood Video Archive stopped by the construction site to film the progress so far.

    Interesting, thanks for explaining the process. I hope it gets the beach restored in North Wildwood. Thanks for sharing.

    Thanks for clarifying what those tubes were🥹

    Ok, I can add a couple things to further clarify this process. The video shows areas where you see several pipe. The pipe is HDPE dredge pipe. Only one of those pipes are pumping the dredge material into the bags called Geo-Tubes. The concrete barriers are in place to control the clean watered that come out of the tubes, and back into the bay. Under the Geo-Tubes, there is polyethylene sheeting that coveres the entire floor within the concrete barrier chamber. The poly also will be draped up and over the barriers to pool the water so the water will only leave the site where the contractor wants. The rest of the pipeline you see in the video. Are simply on standby in mostlikely in 500' sections with flanged ends on both ends. As the dredge moves further away from the Geo-Tube sites, the crews will go get another section of standby pipe and add it to the main line from the dredge to the Geo-Tubes. Once the section of standby pipe is added and secured, the dredge crew is able to continue dredging for another 500'.
    The tanks next to the Geo-Tubes are actually not a additional pump to pressure the Geo-Tubes. They are part of a system that does have a very low pressure pump. That pump is pumping a polymer solution into the pipeline just prior to the dredge material enters the Geo-Tubes. The polymer is a very important part of this process. Geo-Tubes are made to keep the silt and sand in, and let the clean water out. The polymer coagulates the silt material so it will fall to the bottom as it enters the Geo-Tubes. Without the polymer, the silt would sta6 suspended and clog all of the pores in the Geo-Tubes and the water will be trapped. When this happens, the dredge material and water must stop or the Geo-Tubes will burst at the seams.
    A slight correction about the pipeline. Only on pipeline does pump the material to the Geo-Tube field, but once that line reaches the field, there is a trunk line with a serious of Y fittings and valves so more than one tube can be filled at a time as well as controlling how much pressure is getting built ip in the tubes.

    I remember you doing a video about this a few months back. Nice to see it come to life. Are they still going to have it for people to crab and fish from when they are done?

    Are they dredging the Intercostal between the West Wildwood railroad bridge and North Wildwood bridge? AKA Grassy Sound. That channel is in desperate need of dredging. They keep moving the channel markers closer together. Thanks for the awesome video

    Great video Joey. I was wondering what those giant bags were on 5th st.

    They have been using smaller types of these on pumps and various other projects where muddy water is involved.Im go to say it's not going to a beach.Probably a contamination issue.

    Why don’t you go to the residents across the street , shaking your house 24/7.. disrupting our lives , let’s park a tank in front of your home and have it rev its engine constantly.. it’s Memorial Day weekend and our house is vibrating and the noise ,, not to mention all the wildlife they displaced.. this is a politician property making money off tax payers.. could have gone across the bay where there is acres of property with no residents..
