Marine Sediment Sampling Support

Marine sediment sampling is often the first step in the design of any dredging, capping, or other remediation project. It provides our engineering customers, geotechnical clients, and our own crews with valuable information about the composition and characteristics of the work environment, including location and depth of environmental impacts, geotechnical characteristics of underlying materials, composition of contaminated sediment, and so much more.

This data allows our clients and engineers to tailor their construction methods to suit specific conditions, minimizing risks and ensuring the proper design of any project. Sediment sampling enables environmental assessments, helping to mitigate the impact on marine ecosystems by identifying sensitive habitats or species that may be affected by the construction activities. 

By understanding the sediment dynamics beforehand, White Lake Dock & Dredge can also optimize our dredging operations, reducing costs and maximizing efficiency. Overall, marine sediment sampling is a fundamental step in responsible sediment remediation and marine construction, ensuring both the safety of the project and the protection of the marine environment.
