Monitoring Completed Navigation Projects, Lessons Learned 5
Abstract
The Coastal and Hydraulics Engineering Technical Note (CHETN) herein provides a summary of lessons learned and significant results for projects monitored under the Monitoring Completed Navigation Projects (MCNP) Program. This CHETN is the fifth of a series summarizing lessons learned and project results from the MCNP Program, formerly the Monitoring Completed Coastal Projects Program. Lessons learned from previously monitored projects may be obtained from USACE (1992); USACE (1993); Bottin (1997); and Bottin (2000). This CHETN covers three comprehensively monitored projects for which reports have been prepared: Boston Harbor Confined Aquatic Disposal Cells, MA (Hales 2001); Marseilles Dam submersible gates, IL (Cooper et al. 2001); and Morro Bay Harbor entrance, CA (Thompson, Bottin, and Shak 2002). The CHETN also includes four projects monitored under the Periodic Inspections Work Unit of the MCNP Program: St. Paul Harbor breakwater, AK (Bottin and Jeffries 2001); Nawiliwili Harbor breakwater, HI (Bottin and Meyers 2002a); and Kahului and Laupahoehoe breakwaters, HI (Bottin and Meyers 2002b). The elements of the comprehensively monitored projects included the measurement of water quality of suspended solids, contaminated dredged material consolidation, and dredged cell cap erosion at Boston Harbor; life-cycle cost analysis, vibration data for submergible spillway gates, videotape analysis of ice passage, and analysis of dam remote operating system at Marseilles lock and dam; and waves, water levels, tidal currents and elevations, and bathymetry data at Morro Bay Harbor entrance. Elements of the projects monitored under the Periodic Inspections Work Unit involved predominantly photogrammetric surveys and analyses of structures, with limited ground truthing surveys, and broken armor unit inspections.
