AIS has a full fleet of dredging and marine construction equipment and the experienced personnel it takes to do the job right.
AIS started out in marine construction working on docks, piers, seawalls and groins. Over the years we have expanded our capabilities to include hydraulic and mechanical dredging and pile driving. We also have a fleet of support vessels and equipment, plus a full fabrication shop that can build custom attachments to meet any need.
Our fleet includes two all-electric hydraulic dredges, La Encina and the Santa Barbara, and the mechanical dredge, Myrtle Irene.
