A bulldozer distributes sand across Myrtle Beach, S.C., Sept. 22, 2018, as part of U.S. Army Corps of Engineers beach renourishment operations underway here following Hurricane Florence. For this type of project, hopper dredge vessels use powerful vacuums to collect sand from the seabed in an area approximately three miles off-shore from the beach. Using a system of ship-to-shore pipelines, the sand is then pumped onto the beach to help restore areas eroded by storms and wave action. The work is being done as part of a beach renourishment project to help rehabilitate the shoreline and mitigate the risk of storm-related damage to nearby coastal communities and infrastructure.
