At the request of Baltimore USACE Navigational Branch Chief, Mr. Graham McAllister, Ellicott Dredges hosted a facility tour and brief presentation of their various capabilities. The tour included a walk-through of the Engineering Department and overview of the advanced engineering and design tools used by their multi-disciplined engineering staff. There was also a dredge training demonstration on Ellicott’s state-of-the-art simulator, followed by a presentation on Ellicott’s 130+ year history.
The primary highlight was the tour through the dredge production plant, which guided the group through the heavy machining and fabrication area, assembly bays, and finished at a recently completed 20” dredge (the new 2070 Dragon dredge), which is fully assembled and available to support many of the upcoming COE projects.
