Manson Construction Co. reached another milestone in July 2023 launching the hopper dredge FREDERICK PAUP into the water at the AmFELS (a member of Seatrium Group) shipyard in Brownsville, Texas. Manson will ramp up work in Brownsville as the ship build switches focus to systems start-up and integration. Once complete, the self-propelled hopper dredge will be the largest in the U.S.A.. Manson collaborated with Hockema Group, Inc. of Seattle, WA, to design the 15,000 cubic yard hopper, representing Manson’s single biggest investment since its founding in 1905.
