Shoreline Stabilization Structures
Shoreline erosion is an issue in lakes, streams, rivers and coastal areas. Shoreline restoration projects typically consist of various stabilization practices to control erosion and minimize the damage. Depending on the situation, these remedies can encompass the installation of architectural walls, geoliners, gabion structures and bulkheads to protect soils and unstable banks from waves and rushing water.
Installing these structures requires dewatering the designated areas to provide better control during excavation and ensure the most efficient construction techniques. Cofferdams play an essential role in this process by allowing for water removal for the entire shoreline or targeted locations.
