New Haven dredging enters the DQM active-work register
IMWO original New Haven active-work record graphic from USACE DQM
USACE's Dredging Quality Management register now lists the New Haven Harbor improvement contract as active, with a recorded start of 24 October 2026. The entry identifies Great Lakes Dredge & Dock and plant GL 58, GL 67 and GL 68 under W912WJ26CA017.
The plant record adds a field-stage reference
The DQM entry links the named plant to the same contract that SAM records as awarded to Great Lakes on 20 August. This supplies an operational reference for the first season. The published July bid abstract separates ordinary material, sand, rock and two seasonal mobilisation accounts.
Receiving routes need to keep pace with excavation
New Haven's priced work separates material going to local beneficial-use sites from other placement routes. Plant allocation needs to be tied to the section released for work, material class and available receiving route. When a scow or receiving area becomes the constraint, extra excavation capacity alone leaves the delivery cycle unbalanced.
Evidence conclusion
Track the first season by section and destination
Section-level operating records can connect each dredged section to its survey quantity, material destination, loaded trips and receiving receipt. That account would show whether the listed plant is serving ordinary material, habitat sand or the rock programme, and where time is being consumed. The July abstract's coordination-delay items price a specific contractual account; assessed delay days and certified payments require their own records. The DQM listing supplies a start and plant identity, with accepted quantities and restored depths still to follow.
Outstanding evidence
- Released sections, pre-dredge quantities and route-specific plant allocation
- Placement receipts and capacity at the nominated receiving sites
- After-dredge surveys, correction work and certified payment events
