The Cape Cod Canal in Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts, is a vital artery for maritime traffic and coastal infrastructure. As part of a strategic expansion to improve mooring capacity and dock access, a major marine construction project is currently underway. One that not only enhances regional logistics but also reinforces the canal's role in supporting the local economy and maritime safety. This project is essential for accommodating larger vessels and increasing operational efficiency in one of New England's most historically significant waterways.  

At the heart of this effort is Coastal Marine Construction LLC, a trusted name in heavy marine infrastructure. Known for their precision, safety, and deep expertise in pile driving and caisson installation, Coastal Marine has taken on the challenge of expanding the dock and installing mooring piles in the dynamic tidal environment of Buzzards Bay. Their commitment to quality and innovation has made them a go-to contractor for complex marine projects across the Northeast.  

To meet the demands of this job, Coastal Marine deployed an ICE® 50B Vibratory Hammer, previously purchased from their International Construction Equipment, Inc. (ICE®) Sales and Service Representative. This powerful machine was used to drive 81,000 lb, 87-foot-long, 66-inch-diameter caissons into the canal bed, achieving a remarkable 20-foot embedment in just one minute! The operation was made even more efficient and safe through the use of Hydrauli-Flex™ hoses, which provided superior hydraulic flow, flexibility, and durability under extreme marine conditions. This combination of equipment and engineering precision ensured both speed and structural integrity in a challenging coastal environment. 

ICE® extends its sincere thanks to Coastal Marine Construction LLC for their continued trust in our equipment and for their outstanding execution of this critical project. We are proud to see the ICE® 50B playing a key role in shaping the future of Buzzards Bay. From our team to the community, we're honored to support infrastructure that strengthens coastal resilience and maritime commerce for generations to come.
