Currently, Ron Kingston of K & K Disaster is working in the Gulf Coast cleaning up oil.  K & K disaster, using Poseidon 1 Sectional Barges, colaborating with CW Parker, assembled a shallow water oil skimmer.   Oil and water are skimmed from the gulf and pumped through separators.  Once processed, the water is reported to be 95 to 99 percent clean.  The skimmer can process up 140,000 gallons of water in a 12 hour period.  The Poseidon One 5′ shallow draft barges enable K & K the capability to work in shallow waters giving them an advantage over the larger commercial systems brought in by way of the ocean.

FLATIRON SECURES $70M CONTRACT TO CONSTRUCT NEW LAKE CHAMPLAIN BRIDGE PROJECT 

 FLAT IRON USES POSEIDON II BARGES ON THE LAKE CHAMPLAIN PROJECT.

(Longmont, Colo.) June 8, 2010 – Flatiron, one of the nation’s largest transportation and infrastructure contractors, was awarded a $69.6 million contract by the New York State Department of Transportation to construct a bridge that will connect Crown Point, N.Y., and Chimney Point, Vt. Flatiron was the low bidder of eight contractors vying for the contract. The project is the company’s first in New York.

The original 80-year-old bridge was demolished in December because inspections deemed it unsafe. The new bridge, spanning 2,200 feet over a narrow stretch of southern Lake Champlain, will be constructed with conventional steel girder approaches and a modified network tied-arch main span. The main span will be assembled on land and then floated and hoisted into position.

Flatiron is using the Poseidon II 40′ x 10′ x 7′ & 20′ x 10′ x 7′ barges on this project. You can view more pictures from the project by going to the Poseidon II Job Site Gallery.
