LAKES & RIVERS CONTRACTING INC

Lakes & Rivers Contracting Inc. specializes in the rental and operational support of specialized barges for environmental sampling and inland waterway operations, with demonstrated experience in sediment collection and aquatic data acquisition. Their core capability centers on deploying and managing mobile platforms for federal environmental monitoring missions, particularly in confined or navigable waterways such as canals and harbor systems. The company brings technical expertise in barge-based sampling logistics, water quality instrumentation integration, and compliance with federal environmental protocols for sediment characterization. Their differentiation lies in precise, mission-tailored barge mobilization for sensitive sampling operations, ensuring minimal ecological disruption while meeting stringent data integrity requirements. The contractor has performed work for the Department of Defense, specifically supporting environmental compliance and remediation efforts tied to military infrastructure located near inland waterways. This engagement suggests a focused relationship with DoD environmental and civil works units requiring on-water logistical support for contamination assessment and regulatory reporting. Their primary NAICS classification, 483212 — Inland Water Passenger Transportation — is applied here in a non-passenger context, reflecting the use of vessel platforms for scientific and environmental service delivery. This niche positions them as a specialized provider in the environmental services segment of waterway infrastructure support, distinct from general marine contractors. Lakes & Rivers Contracting Inc. is a small business structured as a 2L entity, headquartered in Woodridge, Illinois. While no formal government certifications are currently listed, their operational focus on federal environmental missions indicates alignment with DoD and potentially EPA regulatory frameworks. Their geographic presence supports Midwest waterway operations, enabling rapid response to time-sensitive federal sampling requirements in the Great Lakes and inland canal systems.
