Knowledge Combined With Quality Equipment
U.S. Aqua Services was created to support the dredging process in advancing commerce and responding to its many challenges. To accomplish this, our dredging company assembled an exceptional group of experienced individuals and a diverse inventory of dredge equipment.
We strongly believe in the incredible power of combining rich acquired knowledge with quality equipment. Our operators know the machines, the conditions, and the work. Our equipment is owned, maintained, and ready to mobilize. Together, they deliver projects that contractors relying on subcontracted crews or rented machines simply cannot.

Border to border, within the United States and beyond.
Based in Louisiana, but our service extends far beyond. With dedicated partners and component-based portable equipment, you'll find our services and rentals are often more cost-efficient than local dredging companies - wherever your project takes you.

How does U.S. Aqua's pricing compare to local dredging companies?
Through dedicated partners and component-based portable equipment that can be mobilized nationwide, U.S. Aqua's services and rentals are often more cost-efficient than local dredging companies. Our portable equipment model reduces the need for costly local mobilization, and our self-performing approach eliminates subcontractor markups common with larger firms. Learn more about our equipment rental options or request a quote.
-
Does U.S. Aqua work as a prime contractor or subcontractor on federal projects?
Both. U.S. Aqua performs as a prime contractor on specialty dredging, placement area, and marsh restoration contracts awarded directly by USACE and other federal agencies. We also subcontract specialty scopes - amphibious excavation, dredging, and marsh work - to larger prime contractors on major civil works projects. Our self-performing capabilities and bonding capacity support either arrangement.
