The historic port city of New Bedford, Massachusetts, is reinforcing its coastal infrastructure through a critical seawall repair project aimed at protecting the harbor and surrounding community from erosion, storm surge, and rising sea levels. As climate resilience becomes increasingly vital for coastal towns, this project plays a key role in safeguarding maritime operations, local businesses, and residential neighborhoods along the waterfront. 

Mohawk Northeast, Inc., a respected heavy civil and marine contractor based in Connecticut, was selected to lead the repair efforts. Known for their expertise in waterfront construction and structural rehabilitation, Mohawk Northeast brought their deep foundation experience and precision to the New Bedford shoreline, as their team was tasked with stabilizing and rebuilding sections of the aging seawall to establish long-term durability and environmental compliance. 

To execute the job, the experts at Mohawk deployed a rented ICE® 50B Vibratory Hammer from International Construction Equipment, Inc. (ICE®). The powerful 50B was used to drive large steel sheets deep into the harbor bed, forming the structural backbone of the seawall reinforcement and highlighting its essential strength and reliability in handling the dense subsurface conditions typical of New England's coastal geology. Supporting the system were Hydrauli-Flex™ hoses, which provided superior hydraulic performance and flexibility, critical for maintaining consistent energy transfer and minimizing downtime in the delicate marine environment. 

ICE® extends its appreciation to Mohawk Northeast for selecting the ICE® 50B to support this essential coastal infrastructure project. Their skilled execution and commitment to quality reflect the kind of partnership we value deeply. It's rewarding to see our equipment contributing to the protection and longevity of New Bedford's shoreline, helping preserve both the working harbor and the community it serves. Terrific work, Mohawk!
