(The following are an excerpts from letters of recommendation)

"Inner Space Dredging Services' process consisted of hydraulically lifting the material from the river bottom, transporting the material through piping and discharging the material into a containment area built specifically for this project. ISDS constructed this area using "jersey barriers" to form the outside walls with the inner lining composed of two layers of filter fabric. A "weir" of sorts was constructed at the center of this containment allowing the solids to settle out prior to flowing over the inner baffle into the second settlement area. Bales of hay were placed around the exterior of the containment to further filter the discharge water and filter fabric was placed at all storm drains in the immediate area.
Once the containment was filled, the filtered liquid was allowed to drain off, the solids were mixed with a drying agent and removed by front end loaders. This procedure proved highly satisfactory with acknowledgement by the Shipyard Environmental Dept. as well as the State of Maine DEP.
Inner Space Dredging Services carried out the terms of this contract with excellent workmanship, administration and timeliness resulting in an overall rating of highly satisfactory in all categories of work."

"The original plans called for the use of an uplands settling pond for the dredge spoils with ultimate disposal to a permanent off site location. Inner Space Dredging Services, Inc. recommended the use of "Geo Tubes®" to contain the spoils. This approach was approved by the ACOE and the State of Vermont and allowed the project to be completed without the need to stop to dispose of spoils from the limited area available for spoils processing.
In total, some five to six thousand cubic yards of material were removed and stored in "Geotubes®", thus increasing the plants critical flow cross section by a factor of three. The work was performed under some very adverse weather conditions, including early icing of the river; however the tenacity of ISDS allowed the project to be completed by December 22."

"The project was located at Pier II; Phase III at the Charlestown Navy Yard. The work of this contract consisted of the general reconstruction of Pier II, including pulling and removing existing piles and replacing them with new treated timber piles; removing existing posts, scabs, bracing, fender system, and curbs and replacing them with new treated timber; removing pile caps, railroad bed timbers, and deck stringers and replacing with new treated timber; removing deck planks and installing new planks; removing and reinstalling existing railroad trackage; removing, storing, and reinstalling double bitts."
