    Memphis District awards $11.5M contract for vital harbor dredging project to Inland Dredging Co.

    The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Memphis District has contracted with the Inland Dredging Company, LLC, for the rental of a 24-inch hydraulic cutterhead dredge, attendant plant, and discharge pipeline for the annual maintenance dredging of 10 Mississippi River harbors this year.   "The Memphis District is responsible for the maintenance dredging of 10 harbors within our area of responsibility," Project Delivery Team Manager Vickie Watson said. Dredging these harbors involves removing sediment from the authorized navigation channel to provide the 9-foot depth needed for fully loaded commercial barges to travel in and out of harbors safely.
