Callan Marine says it will serve as the prime contractor to the Texas Department of Transportation for a maintenance dredging project located at the Bolivar Ferry Terminal.

The project consists of the removal of 369,000 cubic yards of material and returning the landings to the required depth of 22’. The dredged material was hydraulically transported via 4,000’ of pipeline to placement area BU-1, located northeast of the dredging location.
