Waterway Transformation Experts
Charlvon Limited has made a strong impact in the area of dredging. The Dredging Division has been involved in dredging activities for more than 7 years, with patronage from clients that has greatly surpassed expectations. We own and operate a fleet of 3 Cutter Suction Dredgers (CSD) of various sizes ranging from 14" x 14" to 24" x 24".
Our dredging segment also owns and operates other equipment such as tug boats, speed boats (petrol and diesel engines), barges and anchor boats, house boats, pontoon, swamp buggy, payloaders, and other dredging accessories. We have dredgers with effective dredging depth up to 22 meters — capable of cleaning port bottoms and extracting aggregates for construction purposes.
In addition to dredging, we provide land reclamation services for infrastructure development, shoreline protection, and environmental restoration. Our integrated approach ensures every project is executed with precision, safety, and environmental responsibility.
