EDDY Pump Case Studies

Real dredging, mining, and slurry projects - backed by field results.

See how operators in dredging, mining, wastewater, oil & gas, and heavy industry put EDDY Pump slurry pumps and dredge pumps to work on their toughest high-solids jobs. Every EDDY Pump is USA-built around a patented non-clog design that moves 40–70% solids where conventional pumps clog and wear. Each study below documents the application, the equipment deployed, and the result.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are case-study production rates guaranteed?

No. Reported results belong to the documented projects and their conditions. A new site needs a separate material, hydraulic, deployment, and work-cycle assessment.

How should I use a case that resembles my project?

List the conditions that match and those that differ, then bring that comparison into the engineering review. The practical value is understanding the equipment arrangement and the questions it raises for your site.

Which projects are included in this case-study collection?

The collection covers Flatiron’s deep-basin excavation, Budrovich Marine’s harbor dredging, and Mare Island’s hydraulic barge offloading. Each page describes the application and equipment approach in its own context.

What should I compare besides the pump size in a case study?

Compare material, access, deployment, power, discharge route, and receiving conditions. Include the working cycle and measurement basis when considering any reported production.

What should I send when referencing a case study in an inquiry?

Identify the project and the feature that interests you, then describe your site. Include the conditions that differ so the team can assess whether a similar approach deserves review.
