Dredging & Erosion Control in Tellico Lake, Fort Loudoun Lake & Watts Bar Lake

Every shoreline faces constant pressures from both natural and man-made sources. The shoreline that you’re currently working with may not be ideal for boating or dock construction. You may even need dredging to protect fish, wildlife, and water quality. At Knoxville Barge, we offer a full range of dredging, erosion control, and shoreline stabilization services for properties on the Tennessee River as well as Tellico Lake, Fort Loudoun Lake, Lenoir City, and other Knoxville waterfront areas.

Benefits of River & Lake Dredging in Lenoir City

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 in Lenoir City 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

Mechanical & Hydraulic Dredging on the Tennessee River

At Knoxville Barge, we can provide both mechanical dredging and hydraulic dredging, which are the two most popular types of dredging.

• 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.
• Hydraulic dredging uses a vacuum-like system to remove sediment. Hydraulic dredging can be less expensive and faster, but it may be prohibited or not feasible in certain locations.

Not sure which type you need? Call (865) 588-0537 for a free, on-site consultation to discuss our dredging services along the Tennessee River.
