Hydraulic Dredging

Hydraulic dredging is a process used to remove sediment, debris, and unwanted materials from the bottom of waterways like rivers, harbors, or lakes. It involves pumping a mixture of water and slurry through a pipe system to loosen and lift the accumulated material from the bed. The mixture is then transported and deposited in designated areas, such as disposal sites or coastal regions. This technique allows efficient cleaning of waterways, improving navigation, flood control, and environmental health without disturbing the surrounding land. It’s a commonly used method for maintaining and restoring aquatic infrastructure.
