FAQ
Do you rent pleasure boats?
No, we have commercial workboats, barges, and heavy equipment that we operate with experienced captains and heavy equipment operators.
How often should a Marina or Boat Slip be trenched out?
Typically every 8 to 10 years but it varies depending on location, storms, tides, winds, nearby development (hydraulic pressure), etc.
What is the best method for boat slip sediment removal?
The best method is the one that is less evasive, cost-effective, clean, fast and efficient. Our proprietary trenching process meets all these criteria.
FAQ
Why not just "Wheel Wash" or blow it out with a large 6 inch jet pump?
That method only moves the sediment a few feet. In a short period of time, the hole that was "Wheel Washed" will fill back in. Our proprietary trenching process removes the sediment.
How long does it take to move the sediment out a 30 ft. Bay Boat Slip?
It typically takes about 3 hours of actual trenching work. Mobilization & delivery of the equipment can take 1 to 2 days.
How long does it take to trench out a Canal?
With our proprietary trenching process, we can trench out a 100 ft. long by 8 ft. wide access channel in 1 day. Mobilization & delivery of equipment can take 1 to 2 days.
FAQ
What is the scheduling process? How long before you can start my job?
Once an order is placed, the time frame depends on how many jobs we already have on the books. It varies between 5 days and 3 months.
Does your competition use the same process?
No, our proprietary trenching process is unique and our vessels and barges are custom designed and built. Our trenching process is clean, efficient, cost effective, fast and less evasive.
What areas do you serve?
All of the Gulf Coast of Louisiana, Mississippi & Alabama that is accessible by water navigation.
What payment methods do you accept?
