Is Your Business or Community Faced with Troubled Waters?

Today's water areas are rapidly filling with sludge, sediment, silt, and heavy weed growth, making them unusable for recreational activities. Likewise, industrial settling ponds are faced with the danger of not meeting EPA standards. Magruder Construction Co. specializes in cleaning up "troubled waters".

Magruder Construction Co. is equipped to eliminate problems caused by siltation build-up, so that the body of water can again be used for fishing, water sports and boating.

Maintaining compliance with federal government waste regulations is no easy task. Magruder's dredging equipment, however, allows industrial settling ponds to remain in operation while the dredging equipment is working. Dredges are used to clean ponds of sediment while pumping the water directly back into the company's industrial waste system.

 
 
  The Magruder Experience  
  Our People  
  Over the past 25 years we have developed a highly skilled team of personnel who balance professionalism with productivity to give you the best value for your projects. In addition, our design team can assist you in the engineering of your project.  
     
  Our Equipment  
  Our boats are extremely well maintained, preventing downtime on the job and insuring your project is completed on time. In addition, our dredge is equipped with the latest technology and GPS equipment which allows us to precisely control the dredge cut.  
     
  Our Services  
  Depending on your needs, we have several boats available. "Mary M" is our largest portable dredge for large production jobs. She has completed jobs in excess of one million cubic yards and has transported material over three miles.

Our Mud Cat is a one-truck transportable dredge that can handle any job under 20,000 yards in small areas. It is primarily used in smaller lakes, ponds and around boat harbors.

Often working in tight environments, we have successfully completed projects as small as 1,500 cubic yards in emergency situations where job runoff had spoiled water conservation areas as well as completed jobs in the backwaters of the Mississippi to improve fish habitats.

In addition to our dredging boats we also have the barges and equipment to mechanically dredge and place rip rap on the shore for protection.

 
     
  Who Uses Our Services?  
  Our clients range from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to private lake communities to public waterways, as well as power companies.

If you have a need to remove sediment or industrial waste from your lakes, waterways or holding ponds, there is not a job too difficult for us.
