Dutra wraps up work in Salmon Harbor

The Dutra Group has announced the completion of dredging for the United States Coast Guard Station at Winchester Bay, Oregon.

Dutra’s Crane Barge Morty commenced dredging operations in the East Basin near the U.S. Coast Guard Station and Dock-A on October 25, 2024, and completed work on October 31.

The dredging was conducted by The Dutra Group, leveraging their existing contract with the U.S. Coast Guard. This collaboration allowed Douglas County (OR) to achieve significant cost savings.

While the Coast Guard invested $947,000 to remove 7,000 cubic yards of material, Douglas County contributed $150,000 to remove an additional 4,000 cubic yards.

Had the project been undertaken independently by the county, the estimated cost would have exceeded $765,000, with mobilization alone amounting to $645,000.
