^"Great Lakes Dredge and Dock Company". Retrieved 2008-12-13. The Great Lakes Dredge and Dock Company was established when the use of larger ships on the Great Lakes created a need for deeper channels and sturdier docks. Founded in 1890 by William A. Lydon, the company has grown since then and expanded its operations to Central and South America, as well as the Middle East, Africa, and the Caribbean Islands. In addition to dredging and dock construction, Great Lakes has also fabricated and laid pipelines, installed piers for bridges, built up breakwaters, and added sand to eroding beaches. In 1914-1915 the firm participated in the construction of piers and abutments for the Detroit-Superior and Clark Avenue bridges.
