Gulf Dredging And General Contracting Company (GDC) - Al-Shuwaikh

Gulf Dredging & General Contracting Company K.S.C. (GD) was formed in 1975 as a Joint Shareholding Company of the Government of Kuwait and Ballast Nedam of Netherlands to cater to the growing requirements of dredging in and around Kuwait. Initially, GD focused solely on the dredging business with a fleet of dredging equipment such as cutter suction dredgers, backhoe dredger and allied equipment. Later the company concentrated on the Capital Dredging projects in Kuwait. In 1980, the company diversified into other areas of Marine Construction.

In 1999, GD Management established a Civil Construction Division to carry out Civil and Infrastructure works and executed a number of complex projects. Since then, Gulf Dredging has been classified as Class-1 Civil Contractor by the Central Agency for Public Tenders (CAPT) of the State of Kuwait.
