About this job

The bank beside this pier had been eaten away by tides and boat wakes, leaving an exposed edge that lost more ground with every storm.

Our crew laid temporary access mats through the marsh grass so the track loader never touched it, put down filter fabric along the bank, then set the riprap by hand, working from the water in waders.

The finished revetment absorbs wave energy at the toe of the bank and leaves the marsh grass in place to keep doing its job.
