Ellicott Dredges, USA, has recently celebrated the opening of a new factory.
Last month, the Baltimore-based company opened an expansion to its new factory in Wisconsin. In just four months Ellicott doubled the size of its new Wisconsin factory to 85,000 square feet (10,000 square metres). The addition has a crane capacity of 40 tonnes and clearance under roof of 29 feet (8.8 metres), sufficient to build under roof and completely inside dredges up to 2983kW. This is the most modern cutter dredge manufacturing facility in the world and the largest in North America. The additional space is already filled up with dredges under construction for stock and for clients. Ellicott has already used the plant's new training facilities for several foreign delegations, including from Iraq and Korea. In addition to the new facilities, Ellicott also launched the first of four Series 4170 "Super-Dragon" dredges for a Middle Eastern client. This dredge, named 'Embarka 2', will be used to build man-made islands in the Persian Gulf off Abu Dhabi.
