Weeks Marine Superintendent Kenneth Machacek was selected as a recipient of the 2024 Western Dredging Association’s (WEDA) Dredger on Deck Award! Each year, the Dredger on Deck Award is awarded to on-site operating and/or supervisory personnel overseeing dredging operations. The award recognizes the recipient’s contributions and value to the dredging community over the years.
Kenneth started with Weeks Marine in 2001 supervising dredge work, laying pipelines, and preparing for project start-ups. As one of Weeks’ most trusted dredging experts, Kenneth currently oversees three different bull gang crews for several of our projects. Kenneth also works with engineering to layout the pipeline routes and booster locations to maximize the flow and production of material from the borrow area to the placement site or beach.
“I am very honored to have been chosen to receive the prestigious Dredger on Deck Award from the Western Dredging Association (WEDA).”
What’s his favorite part of working at Weeks Marine? “Everyone is treated like family and management always gives us the support we need to get our jobs done safely and productively. We work hard and are given the best tools and resources so everyone goes home at the end of the day.”
