Designed and operated specifically for companies that own a dredge but do not have a dedicated dredging department within their organization. BB&D’s professional staff of operators and project design consultants will work with your company to gain the maximum production out of your “equipment investment” while saving you the cost of mobilizing an outside dredging contractor. BB&D Operating Systems and our staff enjoy dredging and it will show in the production figures on your dredge. In these times of ever tightening production margins, your company needs every productive hour it can receive from your workforce. A productive workforce must do what it does best and is trained to do. Taking crews from their regular jobs and placing them on a dredge once or twice a year and expecting top notch production is not realistic. Our operators, crew and professional staff are all committed to dredging and will get the most out of your equipment and budget. Upon completion of your project, BB&D crews will de-commission your dredge, perform necessary maintenance and recommend a course of action to prepare you for the next time your dredge is pressed into service. Allow our commitment and skill to benefit your maintenance dredging needs. It is not what we do that sets us apart, its how we do it!

Benefits of BB&D Operating Systems:

1. Increased production from your equipment
2. Crews that are committed to dredging ( This is all we do and we like it )
3. Professional maintenance for your equipment
4. Your employees remain in the positions for which they are trained and respond best. No longer a need to sacrifice production in your facility to man your dredge.
5. Savings on payroll and payroll burden. We take care of all the administrative requirements for our crews.
6. Our crews are MSHA, OSHA and first aid trained. We certify that our crews are drug and alcohol free and maintain strict safety guidelines for our operations.
7. Professional project consulting if requested.
8. Site maintenance and preparedness for the next project.
9. Clear and concise operating logs.
10. Full operations report and review at the end of the project.

How it works:

1. Contact BB&D Operating Systems and discuss your dredging project and time frame.
2. If it is determined that we can fit your needs, we will schedule a site visit to review the project in person. Type of equipment you own, project parameters, and any special design requirements your project may have. Provide you with a rate schedule for our services.
3. If you choose to contract our services, we will send our crew to your facility to inspect and mobilize your equipment for the job. Any necessary repairs to the dredge can be addressed at this time.
4. Once the mobilization is completed, our crews will begin dredging at your discretion.
5. Daily logs of operations will be made available to you via our log breakout sheet.
6. Invoicing time frame for services will be determined at contract signing.
7. When the project is complete, our crews will de-mobilize your equipment and site.
8. Finally, a comprehensive report will be issued to you. This report will encompass production figures, dredging operations, difficulties encountered if any, and recommendations for the next dredging project.

Whether your project is one week or one year, if your company owns a dredge but needs a professional dredging company to man it, please give BB&D Operating systems your consideration. We operate dredges because we enjoy it!
