Taking to the Water to Serve You Better

It’s official – Fisher Excavating and Grading can now “barge in” just about anywhere – with their latest acquisition of a construction barge, they are now able to access almost any job site imaginable.

The barge was purchased in the summer of 2018, and Lindsey Fisher explains that they spent three months customizing it to suit the type of work they do. “The barge is also completely and fully insured, and registered with Transport Canada to operate legally on the waterways,” she added.

What does all this mean to prospective customers? Well, if your property happens to be on an island, the barge overcomes the obstacle of accessibility, and allows for safe, easy transportation of Fisher’s equipment to the job site. Now, if your island property requires shoreline restoration, demolition, excavation for a new build or addition, septic installation or repair to an existing system, all the necessary equipment can be transported by Fisher Excavating. 

The barge even solves the problem of mainland property constraints due to lot size, outbuildings creating a barrier to the water, etc. If you need your shoreline restored and the configuration of your property makes it difficult for large equipment to access it by land, Fisher can complete your project from the water.

“Having our own barge means we can do the work on our timeline, instead of having to wait for the availability of someone else’s barge,” says Dwaine Fisher, “and there is the added peace of mind that comes from knowing the barge is in good repair, fully licensed and insured.”

This eliminates the need for outside contractors – the level of service expected by Fisher Excavating and Grading is guaranteed and delivered.

They are booking now for spring/summer 2019 jobs, but keep in mind that shoreline work has to wait until the beginning of July, so as not to interfere with spawning and other water conservancy issues.
