Dissen & Juhn has extensive experience in mechanical dredging. The company specializes in deepening and maintaining entrance channels, boat basins, fairways, and slips for marinas. We have dredged numerous navigation channels for state and county municipalities, and the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers. We also excavate trenches for subaqueous pipe and cable.
Our dredging equipment includes clamshell and hydraulic excavator dredges, as well as drag lines capable of handling a wide range of material including silt, sand, and clay. For small jobs, a crane or excavator is mounted directly on the material barge to create a compact, self-loading dredge ideally suited for tight confines and minimal disturbance to surrounding boaters. For larger jobs, the company uses specially designed bottom dump barges that are towed to a designated disposal area.
The company can also accommodate your request for land-based dredging.
