The Company
As a worldwide marine engineering group, Digby Morris' client has earned itself a prominent position on the world market in a highly specialized and complex discipline. The company fosters a strong innovative approach and has indeed been a trend-setter and a pioneer in technical innovation throughout its history. The Group can look back on nearly 150 years of experience in its core dredging and land reclamation activities and hydraulic engineering. At present the company has a permanent workforce of 3,500 persons.
A diversified approach enables them to offer their clients total solutions for major port and waterway developments and large-scale land reclamation projects. They supply fluvial and marine aggregates to the construction industry and their oil-and-gas specialists focus mainly on excavating and backfilling trenches for oil and gas pipeline laying, constructing landfalls for the same pipelines, and protecting and stabilizing pipelines by precision stone dumping to depths up to 1000m. Apart from dredging, they have built up an enviable track record in horizontal and vertical drilling techniques, building fixed near-shore and offshore structures such as radar stations, weather stations and wind farms, using high-quality bitumen applications to protect dike bodies and river and sea beds, wreck clearance, dry earth moving, and many other activities.
