Cashman Ingenuity Drives a Culture of Innovation: Cashman Designs & Constructs New Drag Ripper Carriage to Agitate Hard Material

In the Fall of 2018, Cashman Dredging and Marine Contracting Co., LLC developed entirely in-house an innovative piece of equipment for capital improvements dredging projects that agitate and loosen glacial till, desiccated clay, weathered rock, and other stiff material for later removal by a clamshell dredge. The innovation reduces the need for an excavator, cuts down on equipment wear and tear, and saves time and money. It essentially takes a standard drag beam and marries it with a ripper shank from a bulldozer. It is then hung from a deck barge and advanced through the target material on the seafloor. The ripper shank sticks below the ripper carriage in a similar fashion to how the ripper shank sits below the bottom track elevation of a bulldozer.

CASHMAN is one of the preeminent contractors and developers in Heavy Civil/Marine Construction, Dredging, Renewable Energy, LNG/Concrete Tank Design, Project Development, Barge/Equipment Leasing, and Mechanical Construction industries.
