Since its construction over a hundred years ago, the Vizcaya Barge has protected the historic estate of James Deering, previously known as Villa Vizcaya, from countless storms acting as a breakwater. It is a concrete representation of a ship, designed to greet visitors arriving to the estate by boat from Biscayne Bay. The Barge was originally adorned with shrubbery, fountains, and lighting. It was an area Deering used to host parties, with gondolas to ferry guests between the shore steps and the marine structure.
In March 2021, the Cummins Cederberg marine science team provided environmental support services associated with the South Jetty Rehabilitation project at Port Everglades. J.E. McAmis led and completed the jetty repairs, which included substantial moving and manipulation of both new and existing stones to obtain the required interlocking within the appropriate tolerances. The jetty is in a dynamic marine environment, where experts in coral relocation were needed.
Cummins Cederberg is leading the engineering design and regulatory permitting for a new port of call in Fort Pierce by Derecktor, an American ship building company.
The lift pier extension project, engineered by Cummins Cederberg in Miami, will allow Derecktor Dania to fully utilize the lifting capacity of the existing hoist and permit vessels up to 220 feet length overall (LOA).
