routine until you learn that this project, at the Little Creek Naval Amphibious Base in Virginia
Beach, Virginia, took place 15 feet under the surface of the Atlantic Ocean. In the Chesapeake

PRECON
MARINE. INC. PROVIDES UNDERWATER SERVICES FOR RECORD-SETTING POTOMAC CROSSING
A new fiber optics cable across the Potomac River near Washington D.C., now provides one more
communications link to our nation’s capital. The aim was to complete a single crossing
of approximately 6,600 lf of drill-and-leave 5-inch pipe from Maryland to the Alexandria,
VA side. The drilling site was set up on a bluff on the Maryland side of the Potomac, about
500 ft from the river’s edge. Navigational grids were set up in the normal manner from
the drill site to the river and also across all but a 1,400-ft wide shipping channel. Precon
Marine divers set grids into the shallow riverbed to assure navigational accuracy.
