Home » Environmental Dredging
Environmental dredging focuses on removing sediment in areas where limiting environmental disturbance is an important project requirement. When sediments contain contaminants, special care is needed to control turbidity and limit the spread of suspended material during dredging operations.
ECTMarine provides dredging equipment for environmental dredging applications, including specialized auger dredgers and electrically powered dredging solutions. The selection of suitable equipment depends on sediment characteristics and specific project requirements.
Managing turbidity is an important challenge during environmental dredging operations. Dredging equipment must be selected carefully to remove the required sediment while limiting unnecessary disturbance.
ECTMarine offers specialized auger dredging solutions designed for the accurate removal of thin sediment layers. This approach is intended to limit the amount of material removed and help manage turbidity.
Electrically powered dredgers are also available within the ECTMarine product range. The most suitable equipment depends on the conditions and requirements of each project.
The picture above shows the delicate Mangroves in The Gambia. In The Gambia, mangroves can be found in the estuaries of the Gambia River and along the coastline. These ecosystems are very delicate, any manipulation to these ecosystems must be done with utmost care.
ECTMarine offers electrically powered configurations for cutter suction dredgers and plain suction dredgers. These solutions provide an alternative to conventional diesel powered dredging equipment.
The choice of dredger and power configuration depends on the specific project requirements.
ECTMarine offers specialized auger dredgers designed for the accurate removal of thin sediment layers while limiting turbidity.
These dredgers can also be supplied with electric power. Their suitability depends on sediment characteristics and the requirements of the environmental dredging project.
