Eastern Dredging

Common signs include the boat touching bottom, difficulty entering the lift, inadequate lift clearance, reduced access at low tide, visible sediment buildup, or water that is noticeably shallower than it was previously.
Many projects require permits, authorizations, or other approvals. Requirements depend on the property, jurisdiction, waterway, project size, and proposed depth. Eastern Dredging will manage the entire process for you.
Unfortunately, this is hard to give an exact description without seeing your site first. Generally speaking, the average 70’ canal dock in South Florida is around $5,000, though this can vary up or down significantly. Schedule a site inspection to find out more.
Each job is unique. Generally speaking, a 70’ dock can be done in less than one day. That said, there are a lot of variables that can change that, so it is important to schedule a consultation.
Also, it is VERY important to take into account time needed to get the correct permit for your job.
The frequency of dredging depends on factors like sediment buildup, waterway traffic, and environmental conditions. Schedule an inspection with us to find out your specific needs.
Yes! The way we do it is. Every dredging project creates some disturbance, but the amount can be reduced through proper assessment, targeted removal, controlled equipment, ashless hydraulic oils, clean-water returns, and responsible sediment management. Eastern Dredging pursues the most environmentally responsible practical approach for each authorized project. Learn more here.‍ ‍
In many cases, yes. Every installation is different, so Eastern Dredging evaluates the lift, dock, pilings, seawall, access, utilities, vessel requirements, and sediment conditions before recommending an approach.
Any marine construction project requires careful planning. Eastern Dredging evaluates surrounding structures and subsurface conditions, then selects an equipment and operating approach suited to the site. Our sub-bottom profiler can help identify changing sediment layers, harder material, and buried obstructions before removal.
