Environmental Dredge
Large Industrial Use Environmental Dredge Featuring Extremely Low Turbidity
What is Environmental Dredging?
Environmental dredging is a specialized technique to remove contaminated sediments, pollutants, and debris from water bodies while minimizing the impact on the surrounding environment. It is an essential process for restoring and maintaining the ecological balance of aquatic ecosystems. Unlike traditional dredging methods, which focus solely on sediment removal, environmental dredging prioritizes protecting water quality and preserving natural habitats.
Environmental Dredge Details. The EDDY environmental dredge is the most sensitive dredge on the market. Our dredge is designed to be the most precise dredge available, in order to only remove the target material and not over-dredge unwanted virgin material. This, in turn lowers the cost and time of contaminant material treatment and overall dredging. The ability to dredge with little to no detectable turbidity creates the optimal environmental dredge for low turbidity dredging projects. The EDDY environment dredge incorporates a 4-spud articulating design, along with load cell technology, that allows for pre-programmed and automated dredging. The high power of the Eddy Pump, unlike a conventional dredge pump, we can operate without the need for a cutterhead, further decreasing turbidity to non-detectable levels.
All dredges use our industrial pumps, which are non-clog pumps designed for high solids pumping applications. Our patented pump technology outperforms all centrifugal, vortex and positive displacement pumps in a variety of the most difficult pumping applications.
All EDDY Pump dredges and excavator cutterheads use our proven USA Built industrial slurry pumps.
