In a significant development for both the environment and civil infrastructure, North American Mining has recently secured a multi-year contract in Palm Beach County, Florida. This contract involves providing dragline excavation services for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, specifically aimed at enhancing the Florida Everglades. This marks an exciting new chapter for North American Mining as it expands its services beyond traditional aggregates mining into the realm of large-scale civil infrastructure.

According to Phil Berry, President of North American Mining, the company prides itself on maintaining the highest safety standards while optimizing efficiency and environmental responsibility. The decision to award the contract to North American Mining was influenced by their expertise and the innovative features of the MTECK draglines, which are engineered to enhance operational efficiency and safety.

North American Mining's dragline fleet, recognized as the largest in the United States, is now complemented by the new MTECK models that emphasize enhanced performance metrics. Its partnership with Strata Equipment Solutions enables exclusive distribution rights across 48 states, affirming North American Mining’s leading position in the market. This strategic move not only reflects a commitment to innovation and operational excellence but also aligns with the company’s goal to support large civil works projects.

The MTECK draglines stand out for their advanced efficiency and power features, designed to meet the demands of contemporary excavation projects while minimizing environmental impacts. As North American Mining embarks on this endeavor, its focus remains on delivering exceptional service and contributing to the ecological restoration efforts crucial for the Florida Everglades.

This contract is seen as an extension of North American Mining's ongoing strategy to create a diverse portfolio in mining and civil project support. The ecological restoration of the Everglades is paramount, and the introduction of advanced technologies into the excavation process signifies a forward-thinking approach to both industry challenges and environmental stewardship.
