Project was featured in the August 1999 issue of Engineering News Record (ENR). The purpose of the project was to restore an area that had been damaged by the grounding of the Columbus Iselin, the University of Miami's research vessel. The area suffered not only destruction of the surface growth, but continued erosion due to fractures into the substrate of the reef. Boulders and 77 cubic yards of concrete were used to cap the area and provide a solid surface for new growth. Corals cached nearby were then transplanted back to the damaged area. The remote location, eight miles offshore, presented unique logistical challenges and required that a concrete batch plant be assembled on a barge and moored at the site for placement of a specialty non -separable underwater concrete.
