Sandy Hook is at the northern end of the 127 mile long New Jersey seashore. Tidal currents and the construction of stone seawalls led to severe erosion, interrupting the �ow of sand along Sandy Hook’s bay side beaches. The National Park Service constructed a three mile long permanent slurry pipeline to take sand transported by the natural forceof the current to the north end of Sandy Hook and recycle it back to the south end of the beach. The Facilities Service Group was tasked with providing a sand eductor andpumping system that redistributes 250 cubic yards of sand per hour through the existing pipeline. The Facilities Services Group provided the engineering, design, fabrication, assembly and commissioning of �ve sand slurry pumps and one jet water booster pump. Each sand slurry pump has a design �ow rate of 3500 gallons per minute capable of pumping sand slurry with a speci�c gravity of 1.26.
