RESERVE, LOUISIANA – During the week of June 24 – 27th, DSC Dredge (DSC) attended the WEDA Dredging Summit & Expo ’24 in Tampa, Florida, where they showcased their innovative technology to the dredging industry. The four-day event was an overall success for the DSC team, featuring significant highlights.  One of the many highlights was the presentation of the “Why is Dredging Good” Paper Award. This award, which DSC has sponsored for over 10 years, was presented by DSC’s Marketing Director, Mercedes James, to Donald Hayes and Ancil Taylor, who accepted the award on behalf of all the contributors. The contributing team also included Ram Mohan, Mindy Strevig, Alan Kennedy, Daniel Farrar, and Katherine Brutsche. Their paper, titled “Inspiring Dredging-Related Innovation Through Research and Development,” emphasized a variety of innovative dredging approaches and advancements, underscoring the importance of continuous research and development in the field.

In addition to sponsoring the award, DSC introduced its Dredge Simulator at the expo. This state-of-the-art simulator, and also the first of its kind in the industry, allowed attendees to experience hands-on demonstrations, learning, and operation of dredging equipment in a controlled, on-site environment. This innovative tool received significant attention and comments from the expo participants.
