New president appointed at NASDI

Martin (Marty) J. Battistoni has been appoint as president of NASDI LLC, formerly North American Site Developers Inc, reporting to parent company Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Corporation president Bruce Biemeck. He will be responsible for the on-going development of demolition operations, as well as expanding the company's operations to include environmental remediation work in line with the parent company's TerraSea Environmental Solutions joint venture with DEC.

In a statement, Bruce said of the appointment: "Since arriving last year, Jon Berger, CEO, and I have discussed the repositioning of NASDI. The appointment of Marty as President of NASDI is a critical piece in our ongoing plan for the development of NASDI, integration with Great Lakes and escalation of our environmental services on land and in the water.

"Under Marty's leadership the demolition segment is now ready to embark on the many opportunities ahead working with TerraSea and Great Lakes. Earlier this year we established a new bridge demolition division, which has been a solid contributor to earnings. The critical pieces of our plan are in place, management is focused on growth and opportunities afforded us in the market. Jon and I are pleased with the progress of our strategic planning for the demolition. We look forward to working with Marty and welcome Marty to the NASDI and Great Lakes team."
