Dredging
Dredging refers to the process of eliminating accumulated sediment from the banks of bodies of water, like streams, lakes, or rivers. These are specialized pieces of equipment that make a vacuum suck up and pump out unnecessary debris and sediment.
If you need dredging services, Coast Seawall Dock & Boatlifts got you covered. As water levels rise and fall, build-up sediments and silt can make it challenging or even impossible to launch a boat or navigate to docks and slips.
Our team can get rid of accumulated sediment from beneath your boat slip while reducing the impact on your property and the surrounding environment. We only deliver exceptional dredging equipment you can use for any project for a faster, more effective sediment removal procedure.
Dredging FAQs
Remember that dredging eliminates extra muck and mud from the bodies of water. The dredge employs a submersible pump, which sucks up debris and a tube that moves the sediment from where it lies to the surface.
To dispose of the dredged material, you should follow any federal, state, and local laws and regulations. The dredging operator will lower the rotating cutter head to loosen debris and sediment within a body of water. Meanwhile, a submersible pump sucks up the debris and moves it away for final processing.
Dredging offers many benefits for construction, shipping, and other projects. It can be a vital process for the commercial shipping sector.
Eliminating sediment can sustain the proper depth and width for allowing the unobstructed, safe passage of cargo vessels carrying raw materials, oils, and other essential commodities. It is suggested that the materials must be less than seven feet below the surface when dredging.
Dredging also enables the business to work with waterways to make healthier and better aquatic ecosystems. One of the major advantages of dredging waterways is helping to lessen eutrophication, which is an excessive quantity of nutrients in a water body caused by water runoff from the surrounding area.
It can also result in an overabundance of plant growth that leads to oxygen deprivation and cause the death of water wildlife. Dredging helps the environment by:
- Lowering floor risk
- Removing general pollutants
- Preserving aquatic life
- Cleaning ecosystems
- Restoring environments
