Erosion control is the practice of preventing or controlling wind or water erosion in agriculture, land development, coastal areas, river banks and construction. Effective erosion controls handle surface runoff and are important techniques in preventing water pollution, soil loss, wildlife habitat loss and human property loss.
Shoreline erosion affects both the Great Lakes and inland lakes in Ontario. When shoreline erosion happens, serious problems begin to arise for property owners as well as the lake environment.
Your properties value is dependent on Shoreline control. One of the more common impacts, and perhaps that of greatest concern to many shoreline property owners, is the loss of valuable waterfront property. Given the high value of shoreline property, recession of just one foot of shore along a 100-foot lot can represent thousands of dollars and losses on a cost-per-square-foot basis.
The addition of a quest marine seawall or brake wall allows you to minimize the damaging effects of erosion while maximizing your recreational use of your property while maintaining the natural aesthetics of the environment.
From drainage canals, municipal clean-outs, rip rap embankments, bridge abutments, we do it all. Erosion control can be a preventative measure that combats the forces of nature and gives you peace of mind.
