Dutra Year In Review 2021
We are pleased and proud to report another outstanding year of successfully executing a number of very challenging projects. Across all operating segments of the company — dredging, construction, and materials — our timeliness, quality of delivery, and customer satisfaction have been exemplary. Our equipment, estimating, accounting, purchasing, and other support teams have all played critical roles in our great successes.
Most excitingly, we are delighted to report another outstanding safety record in 2021. With a multiyear trend of exceptional safety performance, The Dutra Group has succeeded in reaching “best in class” safety status. I want to encourage each and every employee to continue embracing our No. 1 core value, safety.
In addition to a pandemic, we have confronted severe sea and weather conditions this year. We have seen how an atmospheric river can impact our projects, and how COVID-19 has affected our professional and personal lives. But we have dealt with all these challenges by respecting the conditions and by figuring out how to use people and equipment to our best advantage. The strength, savvy, and commitment of our workforce has addressed and overcome these events.
As we move into 2022, we know there will be new global challenges due to weather, climate change, and sea level rise. These areas will be our sweet spot. They will be the strength and backbone of The Dutra Group’s continuing growth.
