Breakwater Inspection: Portage, Indiana

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Chicago District

Ocean Surveys performed a breakwater inspection through multibeam hydrographic and vessel-mounted laser scanning surveys of the Burns Harbor Breakwater in Portage, Indiana.

The survey data enhanced the District’s ability to assess existing breakwater conditions both above and below the water surface, as well as evaluate structural integrity.
