Restoring Wetlands, Protecting Ecosystems
Sublatus was contracted to restore a privately owned wetland habitat along the shores of a lake in Manitoba. Excessive sedimentation in the inlet channel had disrupted marsh water levels during low lake events.
As general contractor, Sublatus coordinated fish salvage operations, installed sediment controls, and isolated the channel with cofferdams.
The Numbers
Sustainable Construction, Proven Results
We excavated 1 meter of sediment along 1,300 meters of channel, placed 10,000m³ of vegetation in designated areas, and repurposed it for erosion control prior to reseeding. A temporary repair to the water distribution system ensured continued functionality and compliance throughout the restoration.
How We Work
Restoring Resilience in Manitoba’s Wetlands
Scope of Work
Sublatus was engaged to restore a privately owned wetland channel in Manitoba that had experienced severe sedimentation. The scope included fish salvage, sediment management, and restoration of hydraulic connectivity across approximately 1300 m of inlet channel. Work also involved sediment excavation, vegetation management, erosion control, and a temporary repair to the water distribution system to maintain functionality throughout construction.
Our Approach
Before site works began, Sublatus conducted environmental and operational planning to protect aquatic habitats and minimize disruption. The team installed silt curtain sediment controls, isolated the work area with earthen cofferdams, and performed targeted excavation to restore the original design elevation and flow capacity. Vegetation removed during excavation was strategically reused for erosion control and stabilization, reducing material waste and supporting sustainable site recovery.
The Results
The restoration was successfully completed through coordinated planning, regulatory compliance, and precision execution. The rehabilitated inlet channel now enables consistent water movement, stabilizing marsh water levels and improving wetland ecosystem health. Sustainable reuse of natural materials further reduced the project’s environmental footprint, reinforcing Sublatus’ commitment to responsible restoration practices.
