Dredge Recovery

125 ton dredge took on water, sank, flipped over, and broke in half. Rec To Tek cut all attachments points between the stern and bow halves (as the bow was still afloat upside down); plugged fuel tank vents in order to prevent an environmental spill during rotation, attached lift bags to the stern, rotated stern section about 180 degrees, raised stern section to a level appropriate to move to shore. Rec To Tek worked with a crane company to attach and raise the dredge from the water.
