Large Equipment with Low Pressure? How Marathon Construction Company Restores Wetlands

Back in the early ‘90s, a family-owned business Marathon Construction Company, began their work “Shaping San Diego’s Waterfront" becoming experts in weltand lagoon restoration. A high-production job like this one calls for expertise in both equipment and outside-of-the-box thinking to ensure each machine has been modified to meet each environment’s specific needs. At the Del Mar location, the earthwork portion of this eight-year project will take approximately two years to dig into the water table so each heavy piece of machinery needs to exert the lowest ground pressure.
