Braz
clamshell (dredge) at the reception area
Explanation:
Clamshell is already in English, and needs no translation. Many clamshells are associated to dredges, and you may use "clamshell dredge", to make it more clear, if necessary.

The reception area is the area where materials are brought to, in order to be processed. Look at this text, from the reference below:


Lock A continued to serve as the headquarters for the construction and repair of the floating plant and for the storage of machinery, derricks and other plant, as well as the ***reception area*** for much of the materials bring used in the construction of Locks B, C, E, and F (Annual Report of the Chief of Engineers 1917:2800-2801).
