Tailored Pump Solutions
EZ Connect Floats Advantages
- Can fit more floats in less space, making them cheaper and easier to ship
- No foam used for more environmentally friendly products (foam optional)
- Floats can be reused on varying sizes of pipelines
- If damaged, replace only a single wedge instead of the whole unit
- Quick and secure installation with stainless steel ratchet straps
MODULAR HOSE FLOATS – Fits Any Diameter Pipe or Hose
EZ Connect Floats are modular, wedge-shaped hose floats that connect to hoses, pipelines, or umbilicals with a heavy-duty strap to keep the line afloat. This design allows you to reuse the floats for different projects with different size pipelines. In addition, if for any reason the floats are damaged, you only need replace the damaged wedge and not the whole unit.

Dredge Project Consulting
- Easier to install and maintain, the horizontal slurry pump, a type of dredge pump, allows for quick access to pump components, making repair jobs straightforward. During repair jobs, pumps are completely disassembled for thorough inspection. All components are carefully inspected, and any parts not meeting standards are replaced. After reassembly, the pump is tested to ensure reliable performance. These steps help extend the service life of the hydraulic pump and maintain equipment reliability. EDDY Pump can also provide dredging project managers to oversee sediment projects and remediation projects, ensuring that all aspects of the dredging project are managed efficiently and in compliance with environmental regulations.
- Requires more room, due to its larger footprint compared to vertical
- Implementing best management practices and evaluating management alternatives are essential for effective material management in any dredging project.
Vertical Slurry Pump
-
Less smaller footprint, allowing the dredge pump to be implemented in hard to reach jobs
-
More versatile, can be cable hung straight down and inserted directly into medium to pump target material. The vertical slurry pump can also be used in mechanical dredging operations where minimal water addition is required.
-
The vertical slurry pump is typically situated within the excavator or dredging system so that it is optimally positioned for efficient material handling and performance.
-
More difficult to repair and tougher maintenance
EZ Connect Floats Unit Guide
Depending on the diameter of your pipeline, more float wedges may need to be added. This allows you to use the same floats for multiple projects. See the chart for specific pipeline specifications.
