Work Barges (Engineer recruitment program) Item Info

In addition to a fleet of trucks, the Guy F. Atkinson Company of San Francisco, California, holder of the first stage construction contract at the U.S. Army, Corps of Engineers' Little Goose Lock and Dam site, has assigned two work barges with tugs. The fabrication of the cofferdam cells riverward from the work area behind which the Little Goose Dam will be constructed, is being carried on the high ground of what was once Little Goose Island. The barges and tugs are necessary to transport equipment from the south shore to Little Goose Island, where the cofferdam cell fabrication is underway. With completion of the cells, the Snake River will be diverted by an earthen embankment towards the north-shore, where and excavated diversion channel has been created.
