Delivering our Sheet piling expertise for the one of the country’s largest construction companies, Shapoorji Pallonji, in Cochin
Completion of 2 Million m3 of dredging and reclamation for Reliance Industries, who trusted us with this crucial work for their new power plant in Hazira.
With a 40 year old legacy built by our late Founder Chairman Shri Bopanna Hanumantha Rao and Founding Managing Director Dr. Meka Vijay Paparao, Amma Lines has over decades executed projects around India to the satisfaction and relief of many clients
A crucial activity for marine pipelines, trenching is an art wherein one has to dredge within a very small width of a few metres, over a length of kilometres. This takes precision. It also takes places within the wave break area, thereby making it difficult to dredge with conventional dredging equipment therefore innovation is crucial. Meka Dredging has done several trenches for its sister companies Amma Lines & Meka Infrastructure.
Over the years, we have continuously been innovating and finding better ways to work with our environment. We have been able to execute innovative dredging solutions without explosives and have dredged rock near a Marine Park, thereby not disturbing marine life while delivering the project ssuccessfully.
Rock Dredging is one of the hardest and most tricky of dredging works. Based on the nature of the rock, SPT values, and environment around – be it marine life to buildings, jetties and marine structures, one has to be extremely cautious as rock dredging involves drilling and blasting with explosives and then removal. Meka Dredging has decades of vast experience in executing Rock dredging works.
Reclamation of land is a crucial project activity, wherein land is reclaimed for the purpose of improving land and increasing the useable area of the project. Meka Dredging has reclaimed hundreds of acres across India for its clients, thereby increasing the land value at a very low cost.
Capital Dredging by its definition means dredging for the first time. These projects are complex as the nature of the soil, current, siltation, hydrodynamics are mostly unknown and provide for challenging issues. Meka Dredging has completed over 9 Million m3 of capital dredging in a short span of time.
Maintenance Dredging takes place at existing ports and jetties, wherein there is a continuous need for the berths to be used. Being able to manage the dredging operations, movement of the dredging fleet, while still giving priority to ships is a difficult but important task. Meka Dredging has completed dozens of maintenance dredging works over the years with its fleet of marine dredging equipments.

Senior Vice President (Hazira Operations), L&TI/ My company ( L&T) Heavy Engineering Complex at Hazira have known M/s Amma Lines & Its Proprietor Dr Pappa Rao for more than a decade. They were initially engaged for carrying out dredging work in front of our Jetties which get frequently inundated with heavy silt flowing in the river. Frequent dredging in front of them is an operational requirement to ensure smooth incoming/ outgoing of barges which carry away our finished heavy products to other ports/ ships. They must have undertaken at least 15 -20 separate contracts at different time periods for specified estimated quantities of dredged material. We found them very cooperative, (having capabilities to mobilise their dredging equipments very quickly), and extremely proffesional in their work. In fact they are the only contractor hired by L&T for this purpose for the last 15 years or so.
