Port of Oakland Expansion

D & A provided systems to the Port of Oakland for monitoring water quality impacts from dredging and construction of new berthing and freight handling facilities. Buoy systems with OBS-3As deployed in control and dredging areas have monitored turbidity and total suspended solids continuously since 2000. The moorings operated for the project are visited biweekly and data are offloaded with a PC operated from a workboat.
