What Mobile Dredging & Video Pipe, Inc. does

Mobile Dredging & Video Pipe, Inc. (MDVP) is a specialty environmental infrastructure maintenance contractor providing hydraulic dredging, sewer system rehabilitation, pipeline inspection and trenchless repair, industrial cleaning, and sediment/sludge dewatering services. Founded in 1964 and headquartered in Chester, Pennsylvania, the company operates from three locations (Chester, PA; Newfield, NJ; Beltsville, MD) and is qualified to perform work in 16 states across the Mid-Atlantic, Northeast, and Southeast. MDVP is a wholly-owned operating subsidiary of Carylon Corporation, a privately held conglomerate of 14 regional environmental services companies, and participates in two formal Carylon alliances (Carylon Sediments Group and Carylon Industrial Services Group) that extend its resource base for turnkey sediment and industrial cleaning projects.

The company's service portfolio spans three main lines. Sewer Services include digital TV/CCTV inspection (NASSCO PACP-certified), sonar pipeline inspection for 10"-120" diameter lines, CIPP lining, hydroblasting up to 20,000 psi, vacuum/hydro excavation, manhole rehabilitation, and lateral inspection and sealing. Sediment Services encompass GPS-equipped hydraulic dredging (up to 32 ft depth, 4,000 gpm), hydrographic surveying via autonomous EchoBoat multi-beam sonar vessels, mobile sludge dewatering using belt filter presses, digester and lagoon cleaning, and hauling/disposal of ash and residuals. Water Services cover pipeline diagnostics (CCTV, acoustic leak detection, ROV, GIS mapping), pipeline cleaning, and trenchless rehabilitation using fold-and-form or spray-on linings. Equipment fleet includes portable GPS-equipped hydraulic dredges with cutter, suction, and auger heads, autonomous survey vessels with Applanix inertial guidance, and high-pressure hydroblasting systems.

MDVP operates a project-based professional services revenue model, primarily through competitive sealed bidding on municipal and government contracts supplemented by direct negotiation with utility and industrial clients. The company is non-disclosure on pricing, with contract values determined by project scope, location, and equipment requirements. Notable customers include Nassau County NY (post-Superstorm Sandy Bay Park STP dewatering), New Castle County DE, City of Wilmington DE, Aqua Pennsylvania, Frederick County MD ($12.7M Lake Linganore), Camden County MUA NJ (Newton Lake, 295,663 cubic yards), NJDOT, Connecticut DEEP, Orlando Utilities Commission, Covanta Plymouth, and American Electric Power. The company serves three primary verticals — municipalities, utilities, and industrial companies — with engineering firms as a secondary channel for design/build subcontracting.
