Project Scope
Working for Accomack County Department of Public Works, Kinsley Construction was contracted to restore approximately 270 linear feet of degraded shoreline along Bluebill Lane. Persistent wave action from strong winds and frequent boat traffic had caused ongoing erosion, resulting in soil loss, weakened shoreline conditions and reduced protection for adjacent infrastructure. Left unaddressed, these conditions posed a risk to the County’s boat launch and could have led to more extensive and costly repairs.
Out scope of work included:
This project utilized a living shoreline approach, which stabilizes coastal areas using natural materials and vegetation rather than traditional hard armoring methods. By working with natural processes, the solution not only reduces erosion but also enhances habitat, improves water quality and strengthens long-term shoreline resilience.
