We’re proud to share that J.F. Brennan Company received three awards at the 2025 World Dredging Conference & Expo, hosted by the Western Dredging Association (WEDA) in San Diego, California. These honors underscore our longstanding commitment to safety, environmental responsibility, and meaningful partnerships within the dredging and marine construction industry.
Brennan was recognized with the Safety Excellence Award for a Dredging Project for our sustained, high-performance safety culture on the Grasse River Remediation Project. Two of our collaborative projects were also honored with Environmental Excellence Awards in the remediation category—one for our work on the Torch Lake Drum Removal Pilot Study, alongside Anchor QEA, EA Engineering, and Honeywell International —and the other for the Milwaukee River OU2 Remediation Project, in partnership with GEI Consultants and We Energies.
These awards reflect the talent, integrity, and hard work of our team members, and we are particularly grateful to our project partners and clients who contributed to the success of these efforts. We view recognition like this not just as a milestone, but as a reminder of the trust placed in us to do this critical work safely, collaboratively, and with care for the communities and waterways we serve.
