Over time, the water gets too shallow for your boat and dock. Dredging removes that buildup and restores the depth the waterway was originally permitted or excavated to by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE). ## Choosing Between Mechanical and Hydraulic Dredging Water levels, budget, and materials all shape the best choice. We walk you through each one.

A backhoe or crane on a barge or the shoreline removes material one scoop at a time, and it’s hauled to an approved disposal facility. ![Hydraulic Dredjing 1-1](https://www.precmarine.com/hubfs/Hydraulic%20Dredjing%201-1.jpg) Fast, low-disturbance ### Hydraulic Best for fine sediments like sand, silt, and light organics. A suction pump pulls material from the bottom like a vacuum and sends it into filter tubes, where the water drains out and returns to the waterway.   ##### Learn About Permits ## We Handle the Permits Every dredging project starts with the right information. We survey your waterway, gather the engineering data, and handle the permitting process with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and other required agencies. Once approvals are in place, our crew removes the buildup and confirms the final depth, so your waterway is ready to use again. **Site evaluation** We survey your waterway and measure current depths. **Permits handled** We obtain the engineering information and all required permits. **Dredge and confirm** We remove the buildup and verify the final depth. ##### The Precision Difference ## If You Dream It, We Will Build It   | ### Turnkey Service Engineering, permitting, and dredging handled by one team. | ### Right-Fit Method Mechanical or hydraulic dredging, matched to your waterway and sediment. | ### Verified Depth We confirm the final depth so your boat and dock are ready to use again. | | --- | --- | --- | [![Explore Marine Construction](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/20766718/interactive-218746745121.png)](https://www.precmarine.com/hs/cta/wi/redirect?encryptedPayload=AVxigLL4WIKDOjmbCzRmZp4iJQNyYHHRyyPDQJ2Pkd19nFTGHhE0ZOAstJH2uttc1FOD9R23sI4VM1zc4koIaSvFwwOBumzC4EBLMiHrYdPuYoPIAuCMIWYu8SGL6nf8LDMTcDRmq6%2Bi0JMz1hNiN30Xg%2B8WIIOBFc0GIWEDObxp0cbK2Ka6oyMDXQuecx1Q88kX2ahE5wI%3D&webInteractiveContentId=218746745121&portalId=20766718&hsLang=en) ##### Waterway Restoration ## Restore Your Waterway Before Access Becomes a Problem Stormwater runoff, erosion, and organic deposits slowly fill waterways with sand and silt. Precision Marine Construction evaluates your site and recommends the right dredging method based on the sediment, access, and depth you need.   #### Shallow Water at Your Dock Boats touching bottom or water too shallow for your motor can mean sediment has built up around your dock over time.   #### Sediment Buildup Sand, silt, and organic deposits collect in canals, channels, and dock areas, especially where there's little current to carry them away.   #### Restricted Navigation Reduced depth can make travel difficult and limit how easily larger vessels can reach your property from the water. ##### Locally Owned & Operated ## Contact Us Today!
