How it works

From lake bottom
to dry land

One continuous system moves sediment from the bottom of your water to a dewatering bag on shore, and sends clear water straight back. Five steps, zero draining.

A 3D model of the DINO6 dredge touring the five steps of a dredging job: the site, the auger cutting the bottom, the floating pipeline, the dewatering bag on shore, and clear water draining back to the pond.

The equipment

The DINO6 auger dredge

Our barge is a portable hydraulic dredge with a high-torque auger cutterhead and a 6-inch submersible pump. If there is enough water to float it, we can work it. That means retention ponds, golf course lakes, sediment lagoons, marinas, and places a conventional dredge could never reach.

  • 1,500 GPM pumping capacity
  • 66" Auger cutterhead width
  • 1-13 Feet of digging depth
  • 4,000 Pounds, truly portable
