The Benefits of Louisville River & Lake Dredging

Dredging is a process done to make shorelines more sustainable, safer, and cleaner. Doing so will make it easier for boating and dock construction as well. In the way that canals will often be dredged to allow commercial boats to pass through, your waterfront property may need to be dredged so that the water is deep enough to allow your boat to dock.

If your shoreline is eroding or appears shallow, muddy, or silty, you’ll want to contact us to find out about your dredging options. Our Louisville dredging and shoreline stabilization services provide many benefits, including:

• Preventing shoreline erosion
• Creating safer water levels to allow boat access
• Improving the quality of the water
• Removing silt and sediments
• Improving the shoreline for dock construction

Louisville Mechanical & Hydraulic Dredging

We are capable of performing two types of dredging in Louisville: mechanical dredging and hydraulic dredging.

• Mechanical dredging – With mechanical dredging, we will use machinery to excavate loose silt and sediment. Mechanical dredging can be performed at various locations, including soft and rocky shorelines.
• Hydraulic dredging – With hydraulic dredging, we will use a vacuum-like system to remove sediment. Although hydraulic dredging is generally a more affordable and faster process than mechanical dredging, it is limited to certain locations.

We can determine which type of dredging procedure will be most effective for your shoreline project. Give us a call at (865) 588-0537 to schedule your mechanical or hydraulic dredging service in Louisville.
