Maintenance Dredging

Restore the depth through the removal of sediments and debris from the bottom of lakes, rivers, harbors

Home » Services » Services: Dredging » Maintenance Dredging

PROBLEM

Over time sediments build up in navigable waterways reducing their performance.  Boats with deeper hauls need these waterways dredged to continue to be able to pass. Free-flowing waterways need dredging to remove sediments that slow water down that in-turn harm aquatic life.  

SOLUTION

Restore the depth through the removal of sediments and debris from the bottom of lakes, rivers, harbors, and other water bodies to restore water flow or to excavate waterways keeping them passable by boats.

Maintenance Dredging

  • Sediment Testing 
  • Pre & post hydrographic surveys. 
  • Sediments transport via pipelines to dewater
  • Sediment haul away
  • Return settled water back to the water body
  • Attain all permits and permissions
  • Dredging services using high power water jetting ring or multiple cutter-head options

Depending upon your project needs we have a unique  submersible dredger that can dredge under docks and often does not require removing boats.  We also have traditional floating dredging equipment and dredge excavator attachments.

Maintenance dredging removes sand, silt, mud and rock from underwater channels and berths where it has collected through natural processes such as wind or wave action. Maintenance dredging is required to keep the channel and the harbor at an acceptable depth to allow safe access for commercial, cruise and military ships.

Harbor Dredging

Before obtaining dredging permits, sediment analysis and bathymetric surveys must be conducted .
