The Benefits of Dredging in Lenoir City

Dredging is a process in which sediments and debris are removed from the bottom of a body of water, whether it’s lakes, rivers, or harbors. It allows for a shoreline that’s easier to use, not to mention safer, cleaner, and more sustainable. Canals are often dredged to make it possible for ships to pass through. Dredging your waterfront property in Lenoir City may be necessary so that the water is deep enough to dock your boat.

If your shoreline is eroding, muddy, silty, or shallow, then you should consider our dredging service. The following are just a few of the benefits you could enjoy as a result of our dredging and shoreline stabilization services:

• Prevent your shoreline from eroding.
• Make the water levels safer for boats to reach your property.
• Improve the quality of the water around your shoreline.
• Remove sediments and silt.
• Improve the shoreline to make dock construction possible and safer.

Lenoir City Mechanical & Hydraulic Dredging Services

We offer two types of dredging services in Lenoir City: mechanical dredging and hydraulic dredging. The following is a brief description of the differences between the two:

• Mechanical dredging – Mechanical dredging requires the use of machinery in order to excavate loose silt and sediment. We can perform mechanical dredging on several types of locations, including soft and rocky shorelines.
• Hydraulic dredging – Hydraulic dredging makes use of a vacuum-like system in order to remove sediment from your shoreline. It’s a quicker and less expensive process, but it doesn’t have the flexibility of mechanical dredging when it comes to the types of shorelines it can be done on.
