Safety isn't a checkbox in dredging—it's the foundation. Too many operations cut corners, leading to risks that no pit manager can afford. At Skyline Dredging & Excavating Inc., we lead with safety first, designing machines that eliminate dangers while delivering deep, efficient recovery. If you're overseeing gravel pits, mining sites, or excavation projects, here's how our proven methods protect your crew and your bottom line.


Eliminating Risks with Innovative Design

Traditional dredging often means operators on the edge—literally. Unstable banks, machine instability, and water hazards rack up liabilities. Skyline flips the script: our land-based dredges operate from shore, with the bucket on a skyline cable for controlled, remote recovery. No one steps onto risky ground; depths up to 100+ feet are handled safely.


This OSHA-aligned approach reduces accidents and downtime. We've seen it in action since 2003, from Montana's tough pits to nationwide jobs. Our commitment? Prove 100,000 tons safely before any handover.


Training and Support That Builds Confidence

Safety extends beyond the machine. We provide hands-on training that sticks—covering operations, maintenance, and troubleshooting. Pit bosses get the tools to run sites smoothly, with ongoing support to address issues fast. It's not just about compliance; it's about empowering teams to work smart.

In high-stakes environments, this means fewer incidents and stronger legacies. We respect the people behind the pits, ensuring every job honors the hard work that got you there.

A Legacy of Protection and Performance

Skyline's safety record speaks for itself—built from scars, not slideshows. We solve problems like permit hurdles and production pressures without compromising protection. Environmental responsibility is key: minimal disruption means safer sites long-term.

For gravel pit owners and contractors, this is the difference-maker. Safer operations lead to better profits and peace of mind.
