Bank erosion is most often caused by the hydraulic forces of currents and tides, with additional damages possibly being caused by rainfall or flooding.
If you have Bay Area or California Delta waterfront property, bank erosion can be of great concern. Yards and/or structures such as decks or building foundations may be undercut, resulting in lost property and huge repair costs.
Inspections and proper planning can mitigate the hazards. Here at Lind Marine we have a team of highly experienced professionals and the right equipment to safely get the job done. In this particular case we started by laying down rip rap erosion control fabric on the bank, staking and weighing down as needed. The operator follows up by placing and pressing the final rip rap barrier.
Other options include pile driving and the building of retaining walls.
If you have any erosion concerns, please contact us for project management and support. 707-762-7251. We can get our equipment into the tightest of spots.
