A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by Booth 1132, checked out the equipment, talked shop, grabbed some swag, and shared ideas with us.

 


IMX 2026


https://youtube.com/shorts/a7HIfe5QbdM?feature=share

From the moment the doors opened, the conversations never stopped. We met customers, contractors, operators, industry leaders, and friends from across the country. We talked dredging, talked uptime, and made connections that will carry far beyond the show floor.


One thing became clear this week: the dredging industry is full of people who are passionate about what they do, and we're proud to be part of it.

A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by Booth 1132, checked out the equipment, talked shop, grabbed some swag, and shared ideas with us.

Until next time, Nashville.

ConAgg Is Coming to Las Vegas. VMI Dredges Will Be There. Booth W42551.

 

                                    ConExpo-ConAgg VMI Dredges booth W42551

ConAgg Is Coming to Las Vegas. VMI Dredges Will Be There. Booth W42551.

ConAgg isn’t a sightseeing trip and Las Vegas isn’t the reason people are coming. They’re coming to see what actually works. That’s why VMI Dredges will be at ConAgg in Las Vegas, March 3–7, Booth W42551.

We’re not showing up for the lights or the noise. We’re showing up to talk real equipment, real systems, and real production for jobs that don’t forgive weak setups. No Fluff. No Guesswork. Just Equipment That Produces. If you’re tired of buzzwords and brochure promises, Booth W42551 is where the real conversations happen. At ConAgg, VMI will be talking through complete dredging and material-handling solutions, including:

  • Horizontal cutterhead dredges built for controlled, consistent production
  • Cutter suction cutterhead systems designed to handle resistance without stalling
  • Dredging pipe engineered for flow, pressure, and real slurry loads
  • Booster pumps that keep material moving when distance increases
  • Swamp Hoe Amphibious Excavators for jobs that don’t stop at the waterline

From shoreline work to deep cuts, from dry land to wetlands VMI builds equipment for projects that don’t fit neatly into one box.

Why You Need to Stop at Booth W42551

Because if your operation is:

  • fighting access issues in shallow water or marsh
  • losing production over long discharge runs
  • babysitting cutterheads
  • or throttled by pipe and pressure problems

Then your system isn’t working as hard as it should.

VMI Dredges doesn’t sell isolated machines we build integrated solutions. Dredges, pipe, pumps, and Swamp Hoe Amphibious Excavators are engineered to work together, not against each other. That’s where real production gains come from.

ConAgg in Las Vegas Is About One Thing: Who’s Ready to Work

The industry doesn’t reward talkers. It rewards operators who invest in equipment that performs under pressure in water, mud, marsh, and everything in between. That’s why ConAgg matters. That’s why VMI Dredges will be there. And that’s why Booth W42551 should already be on your list.

March 3–7 | ConAgg | Las Vegas, Nevada | Booth W42551

Come see how dredges, cutterheads, pipe, booster pumps, and Swamp Hoe Amphibious Excavators come together as complete, production-driven systems.

Ask the hard questions. Talk real jobs. Get straight answers.

This is how you dredge.

VMI Dredges Heads to San Diego for WODCON XXIV: Showcasing Innovation, Power, and American Engineering

 

  VMI Dredges Heads to San Diego 

for WODCON XXIV: Showcasing Innovation, Power, and American Engineering

WODCON Logo


Every few years, the dredging world gathers under one roof—and this year, that roof stretches over the blue skies of San Diego, California. WODCON XXIV, the 24th installment of the World Dredging Congress, is more than just a conference. It’s the global hub of ideas, equipment, and engineering excellence that shape the future of dredging. And VMI Dredges is proud to be part of it.


We’ll be exhibiting at Booth #620 from June 23-27, 2025, ready to connect with dredging professionals, contractors, engineers, and government officials from across the globe.


Why WODCON Matters

Hosted by the Western Dredging Association (WEDA), WODCON is the only global event dedicated exclusively to dredging and maritime construction. With attendees from over 30 countries and dozens of technical sessions, this event is where serious conversations happen—about environmental restoration, sediment management, mining, infrastructure resilience, and the equipment that makes it all possible.

At WODCON, technology meets trenchwork. Vision meets experience. And theory meets results.

That’s exactly where VMI Dredges belongs.

What We’re Bringing to the Table (and the Booth)

At VMI, we’ve spent over 50 years designing, building, and delivering dredges that are engineered to work harder, last longer, and perform better. We understand that when your dredge isn’t running, your project isn’t running either.

At WODCON XXIV, we’ll be highlighting:


✅ The Titan Series with TIMS (Transformable Integrated Modular System) – Our newly launched cutter suction dredge line, built with durability, modularity, and production power in mind. Designed for deeper digging, tougher sediment, and maximum uptime.


✅ Horizontal Dredge Solutions – Compact, efficient, and designed for minimal manpower and low turbidity. Perfect for ponds, lagoons, and tight-access jobs.


✅ Swamp Hoe Amphibious Excavators – Adaptable machines that give operators the power to dig and dredge in the harshest swamp and wetland environments.


✅ Booster Pumps, HDPE Pipe, and Accessories – Everything you need to keep the material moving from source to site.


✅ Parts, Service, and Support – Because we know a machine is only as good as the people backing it. And we’ve got your back.

Built in America. Shipped Worldwide. Engineered to Last.

While the world brings its best to San Diego, we’re bringing the grit and ingenuity that’s been forged in Oklahoma and proven in projects across six continents. Our equipment is 100% designed and manufactured in the United States, with customization and support tailored to meet the realities of field operations.


Whether you're restoring wetlands, deepening a marina, or handling industrial tailings, VMI Dredges gives you the tools to do it efficiently—and get the job done right.


Let’s Talk Dredging

If you're attending WODCON XXIV, we invite you to stop by Booth #620 and see what sets VMI apart. Ask about our new builds, discuss your upcoming projects, or simply meet the team behind the machines.

Can’t make it to WODCON this year? No problem. Contact us any time at (800) 762-2257 or visit www.vmi-dredges.com to request a quote, download brochures, or chat with our team.


The World Digs Deeper at WODCON. So Do We.

We’re proud to stand alongside industry leaders, innovators, and partners who are building a better future through dredging. Because at the end of the day, it’s not just about moving material—it’s about moving the world forward.


See you in San Diego.
