This important $2.9 million Mississippi River channel maintenance project placed 82k tons of Graded Stone A to repair and restore multiple dikes to “As-Built” conditions at Sycamore Chute, Tennessee. Dikes assist in maintaining the navigation channel by helping to promote scouring of the riverbed during low water. Dikes are most effective during low water periods and are considering the more permanent solution in maintaining navigation as opposed to repetitive maintenance dredging. The area of the project dikes was the most dredged spot within the Memphis District area of responsibility during the last three low-water seasons. The dike repair project minimizes the future need for dredging this location.
