Dredging + Reclamation Engineering

Dredging and reclamation are fundamental processes for maintaining navigable waterways and expanding usable coastal land. Our comprehensive dredging engineering services encompass harbor deepening, navigation channel maintenance, and sedimentation studies. 

We ensure that these activities are conducted sustainably, minimizing environmental impact while achieving project goals. Reclamation projects, such as land creation and restoration, are designed with a focus on ecological balance and long-term viability.

Expertise

Harbor / Marina Deepening

Conducting harbor and marina deepening projects to improve navigation and access. Deepening projects ensure that ports and marinas can accommodate larger vessels, as well as maintain a calm and safe environment for moored and docked vessels.

Navigation Channel Maintenance

Maintaining navigation channels to ensure safe and efficient maritime traffic. Regular maintenance prevents the buildup of sediments that can hinder navigation.

Sedimentation Studies

Performing sedimentation studies to inform dredging and reclamation efforts. Understanding sediment dynamics is crucial for effective dredging and minimizing environmental impact.

Surveys

McLaren’s in-house hydrographic survey and mapping team is an integral first step for determining if a project in or near water is conceptually and physically feasible.

Pre and Post Construction Dredging Surveys

Conducting thorough hydro and topographic surveys before and after construction to ensure proper volume and location of sediment placement, as well as overall project success. Surveys help in monitoring the effectiveness of beach nourishment efforts.

Dredging Survey Experience

Dredging of New York Port

McLaren developed plans and specifications for the dredging bid and performed a pre and post dredge survey to determine the contractor’s compliance with the specification.

  • Using the results of the pre-dredge Bathymetric Survey, we created a dredging plan depicting existing conditions and the final required contours.
  • Provided technical performance specifications for environmental testing as well as dredge disposal.
  • Conducted multi-beam surveys to map and collect data for debris removal.
  • Performed a post-dredge Bathymetric Survey in order determine the contractor’s compliance with specification.
