Manson earned top honors at the Western Dredging Association’s (WEDA) Dredging Summit & Expo in Montréal, Canada, bringing home two awards that recognize our continued commitment to safety and leadership in the dredging industry.
Manson received the 2026 Safety Excellence Award – Contractor, which honors organizations that demonstrate proactive approaches to raising safety awareness in the dredging workplace.
Senior Vice President and Dredging Manager Mike Warwick was also named WEDA Dredger of the Year, an award recognizing significant contributions to WEDA and the broader dredging community.
Mike had this to say after receiving his award: “There are so many others who have helped me and pulled me up — too many to mention everyone by name.
To me that is the purpose of WEDA, it is to exchange knowledge and to educate. To pull people up. So my challenge to all of us, is to help pull up the next generation. Pass on what we have learned. Let’s help them climb higher than us.”
