Houston-based construction company Orion Group Holdings has been awarded a contract for infrastructure upgrade works at Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
The contract was awarded by Port Everglades Seaport's Engineering and Construction Division through Moss Construction as managing general contractor for the Port Everglades Bulkhead Replacement Project – Group 1.
The scope of work includes the replacement of approximately 2,240 linear feet (682.7 metres) of aging steel sheet pile bulkheads, including large diameter combi-wall systems, soil anchors, and encapsulated concrete caps. In addition, the project will address the aging North Bulkhead at the Entrance Channel (NBEC), which spans 1,200 feet (365 metres) and is vital for the safe and smooth flow of maritime traffic.
The project is set to commence June 1 and will conclude in late 2026. The works have an estimated value of approximately US$80 million.
