Problem

Years of storms and erosion caused silt to build up in the Towne Lake waterway, especially around docks at private residences, making it impossible to travel across the lake safely. Additionally, the shallow lake water meant a traditional deck and barge would not fit.

Helping Tackle Each Obstacle

“As a heavy civil construction contractor, we have often found ourselves in very hostile environments and really tough conditions where the use of conventional equipment is impracticable, especially in the Gulf region of Texas, where wetlands are very common and flood zones are an every year phenomenon, that is why as a contractor we seek the best solutions and/or alternatives to overcome these situations. Fortunately for me, I have found in EIK products a reliable source of solution for these conditions. I have used EIK amphibious equipment on multiple heavy civil projects, from the trenching of ditches in wetlands to the dredging of spoiled material in canals, lakes and rivers and I can say that it is one of the best amphibious brands I have ever worked with. The versatility, durability and quality of the equipment was reflected in the execution of our work; on every instance EIK’s pontoons, buckets and long-reach arms performance was outstanding and much better than expected.”

“I had the pleasure of working with Angelica Fonseca from EIK Solutions a month ago, and I am extremely impressed with both their professionalism and dedication. We were struggling with finding a piece of machinery for our project, Angelica Fonseca took the time to understand our needs and offered tailored solutions that really benefited our team: Angelica Fonseca met up with me after hours so that I may take a look at your piece of equipment before I ordered it for rent. EIK Solutions had a technician arrive with the heavy machinery to ensure we knew how to spread the tracks out. Angelica Fonseca stayed in contact with me through the duration of my project, making sure everything was going great and even offered to bring out breakfast. Their communication was always clear and timely, making the entire process smooth and efficient. In addition, EIK Solutions has proven to be reliable and committed to delivering quality products/services. Their customer support is outstanding, and we’ve been very satisfied with the results and look forward to future endeavors. I highly recommend Angelica Fonseca and EIK Solutions to anyone looking for Heavy Machinery and top-notch service and support.”

“Texas Dewatering has been implementing various sizes of EIK pontoon excavators and long reach fronts in our construction projects. Because of the type of environment we work in, many of our projects have challenges such as reach restrictions and soft terrain which are unsuitable for standard equipment. Our most helpful tool in the fleet is the pontoon excavator. These machines can work and maneuver in soft ground conditions, whereas our standard earth-moving equipment requires a solid stable ground to operate on. Using EIK equipment and attachments has been a godsend for our company. We can always count on them and their services.”
