Scooping large volumes of soil from a water way is intrusive, disrupting the ecosystem and doesn’t afford a close tight cleaning. This process is imprecise and not very effective. How It Works: The traditional method for removing soil entailed having a large construction excavator operate either from your dock or out on a barge. Our machines are designed to only extract the soft organic material and not change the natural hardpan contours of your bottom.

Firming up the bottom and removing the layers of fragments of invasive plants along with the organic silt has been shown to reduce the growth of invasive plants and prevent algae blooms. Science & Dynamics: Dredging is no longer a nasty eight letter word but rather the natural progression in the remediation of your water way because you are removing the biomass and nutrients that have accumulated over the years in an environmentally sound manner.

Premise: Removing the organic silt build up that has accumulated over time and bringing the bottom back to its natural condition, will aid in the restoration and reclamation of a water body by reducing the nutrient load, removing layers of dead decomposing invasive plants and reclaiming the natural bottom. Our system is so unique that it was featured on the discovery channels show “ Dirty Jobs”.

Our system offers the means to remove accumulated organic sediment with a minor, short term impact in the water and because we don’t move large amounts of material at any given time, we can manage what we move up land with minimal impact as well. Typical issues involved in the permitting process focus on the disturbance in the water and up land.
