Our dredging team dredged approximately 100,000 cubic yards of material in the harbor’s entrance channel and settling basin.Dutra has perfomed mulitple phases of the deepening and widening of the Mobile Harbor and has been instrumental in being good stewards of the land by taking a portion of the spoils to beneficial re-use sites that will help restore the wetlands in the area.
