Company

Overview

1919 Founded

Year Established

The company traces its origins back to 1919 when it started operations with coal unloading at New York docks.

500-ton crane

Heavy-Lift Capability

The company operates a 500-ton revolving crane capable of handling massive objects, such as lifting the Space Shuttle Enterprise.

Founded by Francis and Richard B. Weeks, the company began unloading coal at New York docks with two floating cranes and rapidly grew its maritime expertise.
Over decades it expanded services—wreck removal, navigational aids installation, dredging, marine construction—and built one of North America’s largest floating fleets.
Now a standalone subsidiary of Kiewit (since January 2023), it leverages deep equipment resources and legacy partnerships dating back to the 1960s.
Typical projects span coastal protection, port infrastructure, tunnels (e.g., Spadina Subway, Euclid Tunnel), and heavy-lift salvage of aircraft and vessels.
With divisions in construction, dredging, tunneling, aggregates and marine services, it delivers turnkey solutions using cranes, dredges, barges, tugs and custom yards.
Standout feats include recovering the downed US Airways Flight 1549 hull.

Culture + Values

We care for the well-being of our people and help them grow in their ability to be successful.
We conduct our business to the highest ethical standards and take responsibility for our actions.
We commit to excellence in all we do with a focus on quality and continuous improvement.
We preserve the unique culture to build a stronger organization for future generations of employees.

Environment + Sustainability

4 billion gallons

Annual sewer overflow diverted

Vision: Culture of environmental and social responsibility embedded in all operations.
Planet: Committed to creating healthy and resilient coastal communities with highest degree of care and protection.
Innovation: Invested in electric boosters, repowering vessels, electrifying operations, and acquiring electric hydraulic cranes.
Equipment: Fleet includes three fully‑electric E‑cranes, seven hydraulic dredges, tugboats with Tier II+, and hopper dredges with Tier IV engines to reduce NOₓ and particulate emissions.
Wetlands restoration: Dredging division restores marshes, estuaries and removes contaminated sediments (e.g., Upper Barataria marsh creation post–Deepwater Horizon).
Employee engagement: Volunteers in beach clean‑ups (e.g., Sandy Hook), shorebird conservation support.

Inclusion & Diversity

Women in leadership: Mentions of working with 'diverse group of talented people, including other women in the industry'.
Employee quotes emphasize support and empowerment of women considering industry roles.
No explicit gender-split percentages or quantitative DEI goals publicly stated on website or LinkedIn.
