Marine Construction & Repair

Marine construction and repair has been the core specialization at Lakes & Rivers since our incorporation in 1979. We provide the knowledge, equipment and innovative problem-solving for some of the most challenging marine projects along rivers and inland lakes throughout the states of Illinois and Indiana.

A mainstay of Lakes & Rivers Contracting since our inception has been design and build services for dockwall and marine terminal construction. We assist in the entire process – from initial planning through design, permitting and construction.

Whether fender replacement, mooring bit installation, dockwall repair or dredging, Lakes & Rivers has provided time-tested and economical repairs and improvements to many of Chicagoland’s river facilities.

Our marine construction and repair resources include deck and material barges, single- and double-screw truckable tugboats, and a complete fleet of sectional barges for inland work.
