Shoreline Contractors, Inc. is a full service marine contractor who specializes in marina renovation, new marina construction, piledriving, dredging, excavation, erosion control, beach building, dock/catwalk installation, and underwater operations for commercial businesses and private homeowners as well as local, county, state and federal government. Our barges, tugs, dump scows, cranes, excavators and earth-moving equipment are large enough to handle most any project and to our personnel, every project is a showcase.
We have studied the effectiveness, cost, structural integrity, failure rates, advantages, and disadvantages of hundreds of different erosion control systems. We have learned that the most effective method of erosion control is to place large (usually 3 to 5 ton) rock (referred to as "amour stone") on the shoreline on a 1 vertical to 2 vertical slope. This design is used exclusively by both the Ohio Department of Natural Resources and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for this application. When waves strike a vertical wall such as steel sheet piling or concrete, the water is driven airborne, washing out the bluff behind the structure and covering the area with ice during freezing conditions.
