Ocean Cleanup Pacific Garbage Patch System Modifications 2018

Posted on by

Marine Construction Project in Hawaii

AMC towed a version of The Ocean Cleanup’s prototype from the Pacific Garbage patch to our office in Honolulu. AMC utilized its Tug and barge fleet to assist with making modifications and structural reinforcements for the system to better withstand the harsh environment of the Pacific Ocean.

The AMC team made a fast turnaround to ensure the system was deployed and operational with minimal downtime. Our team is extremely proud to have played a role in protecting our Oceans and making them a cleaner and better place for future generations. Mahalo!

Waikiki Sand Replenishment

Posted on by

Marine Construction Project in Hawaii

AMC is working as a sub-contractor to Kiewit Infrastructure West Co. to pump more than 20,000 CY of sand from offshore of Waikiki Beach to a dewatering basin where Kiewit then distributed the sand on Waikiki Beach.

AMC utilized a newly purchased Damen hydraulically driven dredge pump connected to an excavator with an AMC-designed jib.

Our team was able to beat production and finished another incident-free project.

The American Shore and Beach Preservation Association(ASBPA )honored AMC with a National Award for the Best Restored Beach for this project.

Pearl Harbor Sediment Remediation

Posted on by

Marine Construction Project in Hawaii

AMC is placing activated carbon (AC) on the seafloor under numerous piers and in open water areas of Pearl Harbor to encapsulate contaminates. Before any work was completed, AMC needed to create a layout specifically for each area under the pier and open water area to ensure project requirements of 2” and 1” application thicknesses.

AMC uses a unique approach to disburse AC which utilizes a blower machine placed on the barge and loaded via telehandler forklift into the blower’s hopper (2,500 lbs of AC). Deck crew then distributes AC under the pier into the desired square footage.

In open water application, AMC devised a floating target box using HDPE piping and attached turbidity curtains to create a movable containment area while the crew applied the product. So far date the project has applied roughly 3.9 million pounds of AC onto the ocean floor.

Emergency Response & Salvage Services

We provide a wide variety of Marine Emergency Response services. Namely and most commonly are pollution control and salvage of marine assets.

Oil Spill and Pollution Clean Up Services

Pollution Control: We deal with pollution and environmental remediation and spill response. Spills such as oil and fuel spills on the water and land. We will contain the spill and prevent further spreading of the contaminate. We will then recover the contaminate and make sure the source is removed to avoid further release of pollutants into the environment.

When this happens on the water we use Spill Boom that floats on the surface of the Ocean and surrounds the source that is leaking pollutants (i.e ships that ran aground on rocks, a pipeline that is leaking, etc.).

Marine Salvage Services

Marine Salvage: We routinely perform salvage services. This involves recovering an asset that is compromised. Most commonly, this involves an asset over the water, such as a vessel or barge that is having issues and in a dire situation that can lead to loss of life and or property. We deploy divers to assess the condition of the assets underwater and make temporary or permanent repairs.

We deploy tug boats, barges, and other marine assets to perform remediation of the asset and assist in removing the threat of environmental harm.

Hazardous Ocean Material Removal Services

Hazard Material Removal: We deploy a wide variety of skilled labor who are Hazard Material (HAZWOPPER) trained to work with contaminates and remediate them. We are constantly utilizing our commercial diving teams to recover cargo or valuables that have fallen into the Ocean.
