Hydraulic & Mechanical Dredging Works

 

We have a large number of cutter suction dredgers and mechanical dredging material at its disposal that can be used for the removal of dredge spoil and sludge from bodies of water from polder ditches to wide canals, big lakes, moats and marinas, sludge lagoons and cofferdams. All cutter suction dredgers are equipped with a cutter head for the purposes of hydraulic dredging, which slowly and mechanically cuts loose the layer to be dredged. The sludge mixture is then sucked up and transported through special dredging pipes. Using this method and using experienced dredging engine-drivers means only minimal muddying is caused. Hydraulic dredging is the most compatible dredging technique for the flora and fauna present. A cutter suction dredger allows very precise removal of the dredge spoil - mechanical dredging.

The cutter suction dredgers are often implemented in combination with a dredge depot, but also in combination with our mobile mechanic dewatering and sand separation plants. We builds its own cutter suction dredgers in-house in its own modern work centre. They are customised and built according to the company’s own wishes. This suction dredger can be used in extremely acidic environments. We also has 100% electronic suction dredgers, for use in drinking water pumping stations, for example. These suction dredgers can be used in places where secured dredging is required - mechanical dredge.   

Dredging can be defined as the process of removing sediment from the banks or bottom of water bodies using dredges which create a vacuum to suck and pump out the debris. Dredging is vital for reshaping geographical features like drainage systems, improving navigation, building dams and dikes and also recovering minerals or marine fauna of commercial value. Sedimentation is natural, and sometimes excessive silt, sand, stones, and other debris accumulate on the bottom of canals, rivers, lakes, etc, reducing the waterways’ depths. This prevents ships from passing safely. Sediment accumulation also threatens marine flora and fauna. For more information please visit our site https://www.Pacificmaritimegroup.com/
