Dredging in Wilmington District

 

 

From the beginning of civilization, people, equipment, materials, and commodities have been transported by water. To do this, the channel depths of many waterways needed to be increased to provide access to ports and harbors.  Most major ports in the world require dredging at some time to enlarge and deepen access channels, waterways, and turning basins, and to provide appropriate water depths along waterside facilities. These channels often require frequent and regular maintenance dredging.  In the case of fluvial navigation, dredging is also required to construct and maintain vital links to inland ports and facilities.
