B & S Equipment’s Amphibious Services division is equipped to handle the most challenging terrains, including marshes, wetlands, coastal areas, and other water-bound environments. Our fleet of specialized amphibious equipment and highly trained crews enable us to deliver high-quality construction, restoration, and dredging services in areas where conventional equipment cannot operate.

Services:

1. Dredging Services – We offer a range of dredging solutions, including coastal restoration, reclamation, waterway opening, and shoal removal. Our dredging techniques are designed to preserve and enhance natural environments while providing safe and navigable waterways for industrial use.

2. Coastal Restoration and Reclamation – Our coastal restoration projects aim to rebuild and protect coastlines and wetland areas. We use sustainable methods to restore the ecological balance in these sensitive regions, helping prevent erosion and support local wildlife habitats.

3. Waterway Opening and Shoal Removal – For clients needing clear and navigable waterways, we provide shoal removal and waterway opening services. This work improves the flow and depth of rivers and canals, essential for the safe passage of boats and equipment.

4. Conventional Bucket and Hydraulic Dredging – Depending on the project’s requirements, we use conventional bucket dredging for large-scale operations and small hydraulic dredging for precise, low-impact work.

Specialized Equipment: Our Amphibious Services division is equipped with cutting-edge machinery to handle all types of terrain:

• Aluminum Clamshell Habitat “Caisson” – This 12,500-pound structure is designed for sensitive marsh work, allowing for safe, controlled excavations in challenging environments. With multiple height options and adaptable shoe sizes, our caisson provides a stable base for dredging and repair, with adaptable shoe size from 4” to 60” in diameter and water depths up to 17’.

• Crane Barges with Lattice Boom Cranes – We operate crane barges equipped with 30 and 110-ton lattice boom cranes, offering robust support for heavy lifting and complex construction tasks in waterbound areas.

• Amphibious Excavators, Cargo Buggies, Marsh Cranes, Airboats, Crew Boats, Mud Boats, and Marsh Masters – Our fleet includes a variety of amphibious and marsh-focused vehicles, enabling our team to access and work efficiently in areas otherwise inaccessible by standard equipment.

Commitment to Environmental Stewardship: Our amphibious projects are carried out with a strong emphasis on environmental protection and compliance. We take pride in our ability to work in delicate ecosystems, employing methods that minimize disruption and leave a positive impact on the landscape.
