Our team worked closely with agency partners to transform routine dredging material into resilient habitat features that will benefit the river for years to come.” – Lindsey Roberts McKenzie, PE*, Principal/Enterprise Federal Market Leader

The team reused approximately 300,000 cubic yards of dredged river sand to build and reinforce islands, protect shorelines, and enhance aquatic habitat – supporting long-term river health while preserving navigation.
