Downtown Indianapolis Canal Cleaning Project

The Indy canal was drained so that it could be cleaned of dirt, muck, algae, and other plant growth. The cleaning area ran the entire length of the concrete-lined canal through the west side of downtown Indianapolis. Our crew removed the sediment using heavy equipment and machinery, and any debris was removed for disposal. Our team also improved the safety grips along the canal walls. The project was an exciting challenge and a desperately needed cleaning of the canal. The health, safety, and beauty of this beloved city landmark was drastically improved after the completion of this project.
