These barges are then moved to an off-loading area where the material is placed on an off-road truck and moved to a location where it can de-water before being hauled away. The excavators load the material onto material-handling barges. The long-reach excavators are often strapped onto barges and paired with 5-ft. long-reach, a Doosan DX340 standard-reach, a Link-Belt 60-ft. Wickberg Marine Contracting currently employs four long-reach excavators and five barges, in addition to standard-reach excavators. Since hydraulic dredging requires a 12- to 15-acre area to set up, mechanical dredging with excavators is often the preferred method.
