FEATURED PROJECT
Dredge XVIII Spud Rehabilitation
Complete Spud Assembly Rehabilitation for Critical Marine Dredging Operations
AL Industries successfully executed the complete dismantling, structural rehabilitation, and reinstallation of the spud assembly for Dredge XVIII, owned by the Dredging Corporation of India (DCI). The project involved restoring one of the dredger’s most critical structural systems through precision engineering, heavy lifting, structural repairs, fabrication, alignment, and commissioning to ensure reliable marine operations.
The rehabilitation was completed within 45 days, minimizing operational downtime while maintaining strict quality, safety, and engineering standards throughout every stage of execution.
