Harris Avenue Shipyard Cleanup

IMCO Construction executed this contract to dredge and improve infrastructure around the Fairhaven Shipyard property near the Bellingham Cruise Terminal in Bellingham, Washington. This cleanup project was funded through the Model Toxics Control Act, which was funded through a tax on hazardous substances, including oil. The project cleanup and construction had to take place within work windows to protect marine life in the area. Crews worked in an active working shipyard to remove a 10,000-square-foot building that was situated over the water. The contract included the removal of contaminated sediment, and replacement of the wooden portion of the pier with concrete. The new shipyard pier was constructed with steel pilings and a concrete deck, matching the section of the pier that was constructed in the 1990’s.
