An endowment from Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Company (GLDD) established the GLDD Coastal & Dredging Laboratory (CDL) in 2022. The CDL replaces the old Center for Dredging Studies (CDS) which was established in 1968 as a result of conferences held between educators, representatives of the dredging industry, manufacturers, and officials at Texas A&M University. The laboratory is located in the Department of Ocean Engineering and is supported by gifts and research grants from the dredging industry and the government and continuing education courses.

In addition to research and industrial testing, the lab’s activities include teaching university courses and providing annual seminars and short courses concerning advances in dredging engineering technology. The lab sponsors the annual dredging engineering short course. The Coastal and Dredging Laboratory also actively generates reports, participates in regional, national and international dredging conferences and has a cutter suction dredge simulator.
