Erosion Control

The Problem?

The greatest problem plaguing waterfront property today is bank erosion, which is the gradual wearing of shoreline. This erosion can result in:

• Property loss

• Tree & ground cover loss

• Stained water

• Structural failure

The Solution

The solution is riprap (graded stone) erosion control. The advantages of applying rip rap by barge to your waterfront are that:

• No heavy trucks will enter your property or cross driveways or septic fields; therefore there is no possible damage to your sidewalks, landscaping or sprinkler system. Your property is untouched.

• Rip rap is off-loaded from the lake to the shore rather than dumped over the bank edge from your land, preventing the loss of a large percentage of material that rolls beyond it’s intended placement.

• We can transfer debris and spoil matter from your property by barge. We can also haul things away for contractors.

• We have the ability to contour and shape the shoreline from the barge. This is essential for a sound rip rap structure and involves the shaping of cantilevered over-hanging banks to form a suitable slope for rip rap.

Along with all the advantages of applying rip rap by barge from the lake, don’t forget the important aspect of beauty. We will work hard to create a sound structure and one of which you can be proud.
