New Work Dredging
As ships get larger and larger, the channels must be deeper and wider to safety accommodate them. We have performed many such deepening projects including on the Delaware River, Norfolk Harbor, Charleston Harbor, Savannah and San Juan Puerto Rico.
Beach Re-nourishment
For recreation or real estate protection, a beautiful wide beach and berm structure is a great asset. We have built beaches from New York to Florida with both inland and offshore borrow.
Construction Dredging
Digging flotation for a bridge construction project, creating depth for a new facility, or trenching for a tunnel tube - we have the capacity and expertise to assist your capital project.
Maintenance Dredging
Maintaining shipping channels and pier side depth is an important part of port maintenance. We have pumped material over 13 miles to accomplish this mission.
