View of Guam as the family landed in 1992. Many of the best-known hotels in Guam weren’t constructed in 1992, also the year Typhoon Omor hit the island. An opportune time to land in Guam. Albert was ready to help the island recover from this devastating storm and build its tourism industry.

Smithbridge dredged approximately 160,000 cubic meters of silt disposal. The dredge platform utilized was built by Smithbridge and was equipped with state-of-the-art 3D GPS positioning software to indicate to the operator in real time the area and depth to dredge.

Due to the proximity of the coral reef, strict environmental guidelines were imposed by the US Environmental Protection Agency.  Smithbridge completed the project with zero violations.

State of the art for the time, our website had all the information you needed to get in touch and review our scope of work.

We expanded our facilities by introducing a water recycling pond. The water management facility helps eliminate the need for settling ponds and waste, allowing us to recycle the water back into the washing process.

A staple in Guam, Jeff’s Pirate Cove. Smithbridge Guam built this structure (which has since been painted).

Well done to the team on providing housing as part of the Anderson House project. We provided the precast panels to build the houses.

Smithbridge Guam was contracted by Pacific Coastal Research & Planning to work as part of the NOAA Marine Debris Program for the removal of the grounded derelict fishing vessel, Lady Carolina.

The Lady Carolina is an 83-foot, 54-ton, steel-hulled fishing vessel that was pulled loose from its mooring and grounded during the category 4 Typhoon Soudelor in August 2015. Following this, in October 2018 the vessel was damaged further during Typhoon Yutu and remains stranded in the north-eastern corner of Saipan’s shipping channel.

The Smithbridge Guam team assisting with the Asphalt plant start up. Smithbridge Guam was proud to partner with STK Pacific Corporations in November 2021 for the first pour of asphalt at our new plant. Using aggregate from our quarry in Yigo, we leased the plant to STK.

It was wonderful to support them with our additional resources. This first pour and plant means that we have become the asphalt supplier for Guam market. We look forward to more ventures and jobs using our plant and the materials.

Smithbridge Guam assisted Simon Sanchez High School in general maintenance – from changing light bulbs for the Basketball courts to lending them a manlift over to wash and paint their school.

Project scope was the demolition of 2 x RTG’s (completed just cleaning up) and the demolition of 1 x Mobile Harbour Crane (commencement soon).

Smithbridge Guam celebrates 30 years on island and launches Employee Years of Service program in 2022.
