Arc Surveying & Mapping, Inc. and Dredging & Marine Consultants, LLC have combined services forming ArcDMC Sediment Solutions, LLC (DBA ArcDMC). The company located in Melbourne, Florida provides topographic, hydrographic surveying, geophysical surveys as well as engineering and scientific services including planning, environmental permitting, and project management.
ArcDMC specializes in environmental restoration project strategies that involve removal and disposal of fine-grained sediment, including organic bearing (muck) sediment from waterbodies such as rivers, canals, channels, lakes, creeks, lagoons, bays, water-control dams, mining, and various other industries that are a growing threat to the flooding, water quality and future of our natural floral and faunal resources.
John F. Sawyer, the founder and former Vice-president of Arc Surveying & Mapping, Inc. commented:
“I look forward to working with Shailesh K. Patel of Dredging & Marine Consultants LLC as we form an unprecedented corporation that combines our dredging, surveying and engineering skills with the innovative geophysical technology of Peteralv Brabers, Demco, NV. ArcDMC will provide innovative surveying and engineering services that precisely identify subsurface conditions using state-of-the-art equipment, skilled staff and experienced managers that have decades of experience. Our first projectwill be focused on precisely identifying the interfaces of contaminated and non contaminated sediments and to provide data in formats that will permit surgical removal of contaminants.”
Shailesh K. Patel, the President of Dredging & Marine Consultants, LLC said:
“I have worked with Arc Surveying and Mapping, Inc. for over 20 years and was honored when John called to propose this venture. Our similar management styles and a passion to solve problems faced by our clients and the dredging industry made this a natural fit. ArcDMC will be a one-stop shop for all dredging and management needs. With advances in dredging equipment and technology, coupled with ArcDMC capabilities and innovation, our clients will be able to “see or map” the underwater geology leading to cost-effective decisions upfront prior to investing huge resources and millions of dollar in project design and implementation. This is huge for our clients and contractors alike as it will enable them to be efficient in the design phase and cost-effective in bidding and completing projects. Together, John and I have 70 years of working experience in the business, art, and science of dredging and we intend to revolutionize the dredging industry.”
