Nelosca Technologies (Nelosca) recently established a permanent presence in the Mid-South Region. Our company’s new Mid-South location is in Paducah, Kentucky, and will provide all Nelosca services, including above and below-water construction and environmental remediation services.
Located near the confluence of the Mississippi, Ohio, Cumberland, and Tennessee Rivers, the new location enables Nelosca to better serve the infrastructure needs of clients along the inland waterways of the United States.
Nelosca is a specialty contractor, providing above and below-water construction services.
Our Mid-South team consists of locals in the area and is under the leadership of one of the most experienced marine professionals in the country, Robert (Bob) Wheeler. Wheeler recently joined Nelosca from Shimmick Construction Company, Inc. and most notably worked on the Olmsted Lock & Dam and the LaGrange Lock & Dam Major Rehabilitation projects, both operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
“I am very excited to be part of Nelosca’s expansion into the Mid-South Region. With Nelosca’s long history of providing stellar customer service, locating in Paducah is a natural fit for our company and the industry. This new location will add tremendous value to the market,” says Wheeler.
Nelosca has worked on lock and dam systems for more than 50 years.
Paducah has a well-known history of being a hub for dry dock, barge, and railway operations. By strategically setting up residence at the convergence of multiple rivers within a deep-rooted market, we look to expand our capacity as a resource to the inland waterways and those who operate on them.
Nelosca is an expert in surveying, dredging, environmental remediation, and capping.
