Custom Dredge Works (CDW), based in Topeka, Kan., has announced the launch of a new 14-inch electric chain-ladder cutter suction dredge to mine sand and gravel for Winter Bros. Material Company, a third-generation, family-owned business celebrating its 75th birthday this year. Winter Brothers, one of the top producers of Meramec River sand and gravel in the region, recently opened a new sand mining operation on the west bank of the Meramec just outside of Arnold, Mo. The new operation is now well underway with the christening and launch of the new dredge designed and built by CDW specifically for the unique mining requirements of the mine's Meramec aggregate deposit. "Since we were looking to have a long-term relationship with our dredge manufacturer that might last 25 years or more, we wanted to make sure it was going to be good," mine supervisor Jerry Gunter said. |
