SERVICE OVERVIEW / 01

River training & hydraulic works, engineered for flood resilience and channel stability.

Zakir Enterprise delivers river training, dredging and canal development works across Bangladesh — from channel dredging and river bank protection to irrigation canal construction, flood control structures and tidal river management works.

From initial hydrological survey and hydraulic design coordination through dredging operations, bank protection installation, structure construction and vegetation establishment, every Zakir Enterprise hydraulic works project is led by an integrated team of hydraulic engineers, survey teams, dredge operators and river works specialists. Our works cover mechanical and hydraulic dredging, river bank revetment, spurs and groynes, flood embankments, irrigation canal construction, sluice gates and tidal control structures.

  • River channel dredging & desilting works
  • River bank protection & revetment systems
  • Flood embankment & control structures
  • Irrigation canal construction & lining
  • Sluice gate & tidal control structures
  • Groyne, spur & river training works
SCOPE OF WORK / 02

End-to-end capability under one delivery team.

From hydrological survey and hydraulic design coordination through dredging, structure construction and bank protection, we execute every stage in-house with dedicated hydraulic engineers, dredging equipment and river works crews.

01 / 06

Hydrological Review & Site Assessment

Hydrological Survey & Design CoordinationBathymetric survey, flow measurement, hydraulic analysis, structure design coordination and BoQ development.

02 / 06

Riverbank Protection Works

Geobag placement, stone pitching, slope grading and rip-rap revetment for bank erosion control.

03 / 06

Dredging & Silt Removal

Mechanical dredging to restore channel depth and flow capacity in silted waterways.

04 / 06

Canal Excavation & Re-Profiling

New canal excavation or existing canal widening, deepening and re-profiling to design cross-sections.

05 / 06

Spur & Bund Construction

River training spurs, guide bunds and embankment protection works for channel alignment control.

06 / 06

Monitoring & Post-Works Survey

Channel profile and bank condition survey after works to verify performance against design intent.

EXECUTION PROCESS / 03

Five operational phases from hydrological assessment to channel works and post-handover survey.

River and canal delivery follows a hydraulic-aware sequence — assess, plan, protect, dredge, inspect — with seasonal flood constraints and BWDB specifications embedded in every phase.

01
Phase 01

Hydrological Assessment

Channel survey, flood level review and erosion condition mapping.

02
Phase 02

Method & Equipment Planning

Dredging or protection method selection, equipment mobilization and seasonal work window planning.

03
Phase 03

Bank Protection Works

Geobag placement, revetment, slope grading and spur construction as per design.

04
Phase 04

Dredging & Canal Works

Mechanical dredging, canal excavation and disposal of dredged material.

05
Phase 05

Inspection & Handover

Post-works survey, as-built documentation and client acceptance.

Contact Project Team
We use geobag placement, stone pitching, rip-rap revetment and concrete block protection — the method selected based on hydraulic loading, available materials and BWDB specification.
We plan work windows around seasonal flood patterns, mobilizing during dry and recession seasons and suspending works when river levels or currents create unsafe conditions.
Yes. We have the equipment and team capability to handle river bank protection, dredging, canal excavation and drainage improvement within a single integrated contract.
Dredged material is either reused as fill in designated areas or disposed at approved disposal sites, with the plan agreed with the client and engineer before works begin.
