Benefits of Mechanical Dredging

For shallow water at your dock or shoreline changes, our trained professionals often use mechanical dredging to great advantage. Mechanical dredging uses stationary machinery and normally a bucket device to excavate loose silt and sediment. Both rocky and soft shorelines will support the weight of the equipment and can often benefit from dredging.

The process can:

• Prevent erosion of your shoreline
• Make boating access easier and safer
• Improve the quality of water at your dock and shoreline
• Remove silt and sediments
• Improve your shoreline to support the construction of a dock
