Ogden Dunes

The Town of Ogden Dunes, in the shadow of the Burns Harbor Port complex, has suffered significant shoreline retreat due to blockage of the natural sand transport along its lakefront. Edgewater was tasked with developing a rehabilitation design of the seawall to both stabilize the existing sheet pile bulkhead and increase its protective capabilities. The design involved building a revetment in front of the bulkhead to both act as a buttress against wall failure and absorb some of the wave energy alongside a French drain system to capture the overwash.
