Micro-Dredge Project – Heavy Sediment Removal

Introducing Our New MICRO-Dredge System

CDS was engaged to deliver an effective sediment and silt removal solution for a client’s dam, using our containerised Micro-Dredge system. Designed for efficiency and versatility, the system successfully removed heavy sand and silt from depths of up to six metres—without disrupting operations.

Key Features and Benefits

Compact and Portable Design
  • Containerized System: Fully equipped within a standard 20ft shipping container, the MICRO-Dredge is easy to transport and deploy, making it ideal for projects in remote or hard-to-reach locations.
 
Impressive Performance
  • Pumping Capability: The MICRO-Dredge is capable of pumping sand, mud, and silt over large distances, with a maximum pump performance of 5,600 (L/min).
  • Dredging Capacity: It can dredge to a depth of 4.0 m and offers a cutting width of 1.7 m.
  • Discharge Pipe: Fitted with a 150mm diameter pipe, ensuring efficient material transport.
 
Advanced Operation and Control
  • Hydraulic Travel System: Controlled via two hydraulic pulleys (windlass system) tethered to wire cables, providing precise and reliable operation.
  • Ease of Use: Designed with user-friendly controls to simplify operation and reduce downtime.
 
Cost-Effective Solution
  • Reduced Operating Costs: The MICRO-Dredge system is both economical to deploy and operate, offering significant cost savings compared to traditional dredging methods.
  • Efficiency: Its streamlined design ensures optimal performance with minimal maintenance requirements.

Applications

The MICRO-Dredge system is perfect for a variety of dredging projects, including:

  • Coastal and Shoreline Maintenance: Clearing sand, silt, and debris to maintain waterways and beaches.
  • Marina and Port Maintenance: Ensuring safe navigation by removing sediment build-up.
  • Environmental Restoration: Supporting habitat restoration by removing excess sediment.
  • Industrial Applications: Handling material removal for construction and infrastructure projects.
  • Lined Pond dredging: Lined Ponds are a common solution across a wide range of water catchments, however they require a delicate approach so not to cause damage to the liners during dredging operations, our MICRO-DREDGE is fitted with a guided roller system to maintain the cutter head a safe distance from the liner during dredging operations.
  • Potable Reservoir Cleaning: Versatile pumping systems for larger assets.
  • Desludging:
  • Dewatering:
  • Mine Site Dredging:
  • Water Asset Maintenance:
