What Dredgit does

Dredgit Corporation is a family-owned, self-perform specialty contractor founded in 2011 and headquartered in Houston, Texas. The company provides critical infrastructure maintenance, cleaning, and sediment management services to federal and state government agencies and large industrial enterprises. Its core operations are organized into four divisions — Marine (hydraulic maintenance dredging of navigable waterways and beach nourishment), Civil (heavy construction of critical infrastructure including levees, dikes, and breakwaters), Environmental (in-plant closed-loop dredging and dewatering using centrifuges, belt presses, geotextile tubes, and automated polymer dosing), and Industrial (in-plant civil construction including hydroexcavation, underground piping, and wharf/bulkhead repair). Dredgit also markets a Data Analytics Platform built around Microsoft Power BI integration for project KPI dashboards and visualizations.

Revenue is generated through project-based specialty construction contracts — one-time engagements with multi-year terms, priced via competitive bidding for federal/state agencies and direct negotiation with industrial clients. Customers include the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Coast Guard, multiple state and local governments, and large industrial firms in the pulp and paper, petrochemical, refining, LNG, and power generation sectors. Sales motion is direct B2B and government contracting; the firm is pre-qualified through ISNetworld, Avetta/BROWZ, and DISA, and highlights a clean record of zero environmental accidents, incidents, or spills over its 11+ year operating history as a competitive credential.

The company operates a single U.S. headquarters (701 North Post Oak Road, Suite 350, Houston) with project execution spanning multiple states. Reported employee count is 51–100, and the senior management team of seven executives is led by President & CEO Jared Mark (Vanderbilt B.E. Chemical Engineering, Rice MBA). Dredgit is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, parent company, or institutional ownership beyond the founding family.
