Dredging the waterways makes for safer navigation with deeper and wider channels. It serves a greater purpose as well.

Dredging a channel involves the process of removing sediment, debris, or other materials from the bottom of a waterway to deepen or widen it, improving the flow of water which mitigates tidal surges and reduces flooding damage and erosion.

Improving the circulation of tidal flows also helps reduce the buildup of pollutants, excess nutrients, and sediments. This leads to better water quality, reducing the risk of oxygen depletion and harmful algal blooms.

Did you know we build more than docks & floats?

We recently completed a dune perservation project on Nantucket. The drift fence is designed to mitigate against coastal erosion and help stabilize the sand dune.

A drift fence is an effective, lower cost measure for mitigating coastal erosion. By capturing and accumulating sand, it helps to build & stablize dunes, which in turn act as natural barriers against the forces of coastal erosion, providing protection to both the enviromental and human infrastructure.

How do Drift Fences Work?

**Sand Accumulation**: When the wind blows across a beach, it can carry loose sand particles. A Drift Fence captures some of this sand, allowing it to accumulate on the landward side of the fence. This process helps to naturally build up or maintain sand dunes. Dunes are critical for absorbing the energy of storm surges, preventing the beach from being eroded during high tides and severe weather events. A drift fence helps to maintain & strengthen these dunes over time.

These blue sky days take us back to this staircase build in Eastham. What’s better: The view or that you have the whole place to yourself?

A set of embankment stairs can make a steep slope easy access to the beach. Add in a platform and a bench, let’s just say it’ll be your own piece of heaven.
