dredging
Premier river services and custom docks since 1980
Dredging & Erosion Control Dredging creates a safer, cleaner, and more sustainable shoreline that is easier to use for boating and dock construction.
Just like canals get dredged for commercial boats to pass through, your waterfront property may need dredging to create a deep enough water for your boat to dock.
If you have a shallow, silty, muddy, or eroding shoreline, talk to the experts at Knoxville Barge about your dredging options. Our dredging and shoreline stabilization services provide many benefits, such as:
- Shoreline erosion prevention
- Safer water levels for boat access
- Improved water quality
- Removal of silt and sediments
- Better shorelines for dock construction
Every project includes:
- Free Consultation
- Expert Dock Design
- Quality Craftsmanship
- Shoreline Stabilization
Dredging options
At Knoxville Barge, we can provide mechanical dredging by barge or land based.
- Mechanical dredging uses machinery to excavate the loose silt and sediment. Mechanical dredges are possible for a wide variety of locations and for both soft and rocky shorelines.
We have a full team of marine contractors with years of experience in dredging and erosion control. Once your shoreline has been dredged, we can secure the soil with stabilization methods, such as:
- Riprap construction
- River rock construction
- Seawall construction
- Retaining wall construction
The right erosion control method depends on your property and the appearance that you want. Knoxville Barge examines your soil type and discusses which methods will best protect against erosion, and creates a plan with you to begin your project.
