River Dredging

Dredging is the act of removing silt and other material from the bottom of bodies of water. Dredging is the removal of sediments and debris from the bottom of lakes, rivers, harbors, and other water bodies. It is a routine necessity in waterways around the world because sedimentation—the natural process of sand and silt washing downstream—gradually fills channels and harbors.

 

As a leading dredging contractor, we can use several different dredging techniques, to dredge rivers & canals. Without dredging these waterways, they would eventually silt up.

This can impact the boats travelling on our rivers & canals, by affecting their movement, as well as impacting the level of quality of the water.

 

What we actually do with river

  • Making the river more environmentally friendly
  • Minimizing the degradation of bodies of water that are fed by the river’s flow
  • Deepening and widening the river to ensure the safe, unimpeded passage of cargo ships and other commercial and recreational vessels
  • Resulting in a cleaner river that can support aquatic wildlife and vegetation growth

Serving as a more attractive waterbody that appeals to fishermen, recreational boaters and anyone who enjoys the great outdoors
