America’s ports and waterways depend on a strong partnership between the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the domestic dredging industry. That partnership supports commercial navigation, military readiness, energy exports, coastal protection, and the movement of goods throughout the country.
The Dredging Contractors of America (DCA) supports the Corps’ goals of improving project delivery, coordinating schedules, reducing unnecessary costs, and maintaining reliable navigation channels.
As the Corps develops its Dredging Evolution for Enterprise Production (DEEP) initiative and proposed Enterprise Dredging Delivery Center (EDDC), decisions about project groupings, competition, and contractor participation will shape the American dredging industrial base for years. DCA has addressed these issues with Corps leadership through meetings and written comments. Our recommendations seek to make modernization successful while preserving the companies, equipment, skilled workers, and competitive markets that make the navigation mission possible.
