This large-scale project involves nearly every facet of an Environmental Project in a challenging high flow environment. The site includes numerous utility crossings, bridges and other structures throughout. Major Tasks include: Demolition of abandoned and contaminated industrial structures. Dredging of approximately 75,000 cy of heavily impacted sediments and transporting over 20 miles where we both mechanically and hydraulically offload sediments …
This ongoing project involved nearly every type of marine task all wrapped up into one. A portion of the outer cellular breakwater had failed, and numerous others showed signs of advanced deterioration. The location was challenging due to remote and exposed location in the outer harbor. Our tasks involved: Demolishing and removing failed cell. Dredging our failed cell fill Installing …

This project involved Dredging of approximately 80,000 cy of sand. Approximately half of the sediments were disposed of offshore using our split hull dump scows. The other half of the project was hauled several miles down the shoreline by barge and then hydraulically offloaded. Sediments were transferred to the beach for beneficial reuse/renourishment. Great Lakes Dock and Materials large and …
This project was challenging on many levels. We were tasked with demolishing an extensive fendering system and installing a completely new system in one winter layup season, enabling the client to maintain operations as normal. Great Lakes Dock and Materials large capacity floating plant was integral in completing this project on time and within budget. Major components of this project …
While technically two separate contracts, this project involved the repair of over 6,500 LF of detached breakwater. Combined, these projects included the installation of: 37,000 Tons of Bedding Stone 36,000 Tons of Underlayer Stone 70,000 Tons of Large Armor Stone 18,246 Individual 6.5 Ton Dolosse components that were individually mapped and indexed through customized software.
Great Lakes Dock and Materials was chosen to assist Ericson’s with the installation of a state of the art Combi-Wall system at their dock facility along the Detroit River. Components of this project involve demolition of failed bulkhead from the river as well as dredging displaced materials. Worked in conjunction with Ericson’s to install 550 linear feet of 100’ PAZ54/NZ …
This project involved bolstering portions of the existing breakwater with additional armor stone as well as the demolition of the walking surfaces and the pouring of new concrete walking surfaces.
While this project was small in nature, it shows that Great Lakes Dock and Materials has a broad fleet of equipment, capable of undertaking most tasks. At this site, the water was so shallow and the entrance so narrow, that normal equipment was not well suited. We were able to utilize our sectional barges, smaller tugs and equipment as well …
This project involved removing over 55,000 CY of wood mill edgings from up to 35 feet deep in Muskegon Lake from the lumber era of the late 1800’s. In addition, we extracted over 200 abandoned timber pilings and other structural elements and debris. All materials were transported to our facility shoreside where they were offloaded, segregated, dried and ground for …
