Off the coast of Oregon, Big Bertha moves in the water, inching toward land.
Bertha, as her government creators to refer to it, is the result of three years of inter-agency planning.
Her architects; some of whom work for the Portland District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers; conscripted half of Portland District’s dredge fleet to scrape the river bottom and collect what was to become Bertha: a migrating mound of sand.
Rod Moritz is a hydraulic engineer and project manager with Portland District, and has overseen the sediment project/pilot study.
“In this case, Bertha is a new life for Peacock Spit and Benson Beach,” said Moritz.
