Ray Bergeron is Dredger of the Year

Raymond Bergeron was named Dredger of the Year at the Western Dredging Association annual conference held near San Juan Puerto Rico.

The award given to a member who has had an outstanding impact on the dredging industry and on the organization cited Bergeron’s design of the Cable Arm — a level cut dredging bucket that can remove bottom material without releasing contaminants into the water column.

Bergeron told IDR on June 12 that he owes the bucket’s success to the willingness of the dredging industry to embrace new ideas and new technology.
