Work platforms that outlast the site they were built for.
American-made HDPE barges and work platforms for mining, dredging, and heavy industrial operations. Engineered in-house in Wyoming to haul, push, and stage equipment for years with no rust, no recoating, and no corrosion from harsh water.
The site is hard on everything. The barge does not care.
Mining and industrial water punishes equipment. Abrasive sediment, process chemicals, and round-the-clock loading. Steel corrodes, coatings fail, and downtime costs money. HDPE handles all of it, and we weld every hull from it.
No rust. No coatings to fail.
HDPE does not corrode in process water, tailings, or salt, and the hull is solid material rather than a painted surface. Nothing to strip, prime, or recoat, season after season in water that eats steel.
Load it, push it, beach it on rock.
HDPE absorbs the impacts and abrasion that dent steel and crack fiberglass, with no surface to gouge. Run equipment on and off, ground it on the bank, and keep working.
Built to run, not to sit in the yard.
No annual haul-out, no blasting and recoating, and no corrosion to chase. The barge stays on the job through the work the schedule throws at it, not parked for maintenance.
Damaged on site? Welded back together.
HDPE is welded, not glued or riveted, so a repair is heat and a strip of the same material. No drydock and no fiberglass cure time before the platform is back at work.
Recovered pipe. Made in Wyoming.
Every hull starts as decommissioned HDPE pipe, reclaimed and rebuilt in-house. 100% recycled, 100% recyclable, and American made, with a build trail your procurement office will like.

Where They Work
One platform, every job on site.
Equipment & cargo transport
Open deck and high payload to move machinery, materials, and supplies across the site.
Crane & lift platform
A stable, crane-ready deck for pile driving, lifts, and equipment work over the water.
Dredging & sediment
A hull that shrugs off abrasive sediment and slurry, with nothing to corrode or recoat.
Tailings & process ponds
HDPE resists the chemicals and process water that eat through steel and strip coatings.
Marine construction
A working platform for dock, intake, and shoreline builds, ready to beach and reposition.
Survey & site support
A steady deck for sampling, monitoring, and crew transport between work points on the water.
Built from the
molecular level up.
American Made
Our HDPE barges and boats are designed, engineered, and manufactured under one roof. That gives us the ability to ensure everything is built to the highest standards and quality possible.
Every hull starts on a CAD station in our own engineering office, gets reviewed by the same team that will build it, and rolls out the door of the facility it was specified in. No outsourced naval architecture, no overseas fabrication, no handoffs between vendors who have never met. The crew welding your barge knows the engineer who drew it, and the engineer knows the operators who will run it.
That vertical integration is the difference between a barge that meets a spec sheet and a boats that solves the actual job in front of you. When you need a deck modification, a custom crane base, or a non-standard hull thickness for a specific operating environment, you are talking to the people who can answer in the same week, not the same quarter.

Common Questions
HDPE work barges, answered.
Straight answers on corrosion, payload, repairs, and putting an HDPE platform to work on site.
HDPE does not corrode, and it resists the chemicals and abrasive water that pit steel and strip coatings. There is no paint or anode to maintain, so the hull keeps working in tailings, slurry, and process water that would shorten the life of a metal platform.
Read more on why HDPE suits work boats →Yes. The barges are built as work platforms for serious payloads, and deck layouts, cranes, and mounting points are configured to the job. Capacities run from a few thousand pounds on the compact platforms up to the 20-ton class on the heavy barges.
Read more on cranes, racks, and deck layouts →Far less than steel. There is no rust to treat, no blasting and recoating, and no anodes to replace. Routine care comes down to basic cleaning, which keeps the platform on the job instead of parked for maintenance.
Read more on HDPE maintenance →HDPE is welded, not glued or riveted. Damage is repaired with heat and a strip of the same material, with no gelcoat or laminate to cure, which keeps fixes straightforward and often handles them in-house rather than at a distant yard.
Read more on repairing an HDPE hull →Yes. Deck size, payload, propulsion, cabin, and mounting points are configured to the work, from a compact crane platform up to a self-propelled flagship. Because we engineer and build in-house, the platform is matched to the job rather than forced to fit a stock hull.
Read more on customizing an HDPE build →HDPE does not rust, corrode, or need recoating, and it absorbs impacts and abrasion that dent and gouge steel. The trade-offs come down to weight and up-front cost, which is why matching the right platform to your payload and water matters.
