Capabilities of our dredge

Dredging Systems multipurpose dredge can do backhoe dredging with its excavator bucket or with a rake. It can remove floating or rooted vegetation, harmful stones and rubbish from the bottom. With the backhoe equipment, it can build discharge areas for suction dredging when they are located near the shore. Often the bottom needs to be cleaned by backhoe work before the pumping.

By suction dredging, the Watermaster can pump the soil through a pipeline to a discharge area, which can be located up to one and a half kilometres away. In this process the soil is mixed with large amounts of water, 80-90 % of the total volume. In the discharge area the solid substances are separated from the water. That is why suction dredging requires careful planning of the complete process, starting from the actual pumping work at the site to the separation of solids and removal of clean water after the separation process.

With Watermaster technology it is possible to drive piles from the water. This protects the shores and enables pile driving at a considerable distance from the shore.

The Watermaster has a low impact on the surrounding environment. By using its multipurpose technology, it is possible to complete all the jobs at the site with one machine. There is no need to mobilise several one-purpose machines such as a single-purpose suction dredger, an excavator on a pontoon, tugboat or assisting vessels for anchorage to the site.

The Watermaster offers economical, high-quality solutions for restoration work in various water environments.
