Hemlock Seawall Project: Extended Work Hours Scheduled July 13–18 to Accommodate Low Tides

Hemlock Seawall Project – Extended Work Hours (July 13–18, 2026)
To take advantage of low tide conditions, work hours for the Hemlock seawall project will be temporarily extended during the week of July 13 through July 18, 2026.
The City has heard residents’ concerns regarding the pace of the project, and these extended work hours are intended to help accelerate progress.
Jilk Heavy Construction will perform tide-dependent work during this period. Depending on tide conditions, work may begin at any time between 12:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m. on any day during that week.

Please be aware that there will be noise during these early morning work hours. A generator is required to perform this work and will be operating on the lower west portion of the seawall.

A City of Oxnard project representative will be on site during these operations.

There will be an Oxnard project person on site, also if you have concerns you can call the Public Works Sr. Project Manager K.J.May, who we are very happy to welcome back following a deployment!  Thank you to Tamara Ojeda – Project Manager, who stepped up in his absence!

Hemlock is the only location scheduled for foundation work at this time!

Once completed there are no further known seawall projects  for this block on Hemlock.The Hemlock project is an R&D project that will determine methodology for areas in many areas of the Harbor.
In order to fund the work we want to have the best understanding of process, impact, outcome and cost.
