North American Mining was awarded a multi-year contract in Palm Beach County, Florida, to provide dragline excavation services for a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers project in the Florida Everglades.
The project represents an expansion for North American Mining, which has a legacy in aggregates, into large-scale civil infrastructure projects.
According to the company, the project provides an opportunity to showcase its new, fully AC electric-drive MTECK draglines. North American Mining says the draglines were a key factor in why it was selected for the project.
“We are proud that our focus on providing the highest standards of safety, efficiency and environmental responsibility contributed to securing this new contract,” says Phil Berry, president of North American Mining. “We are confident our MTECK draglines will help us deliver exceptional performance in support of our customer and this vital restoration effort.”
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers selected Thalle Construction, North American Mining’s customer, along with the South Florida Water Management District to participate in the Central Everglades Planning Project. North American Mining will provide excavation services to move more than 25 million tons of material needed to construct a 17.75-mile embankment dam and various spillways as part of this project.
