A portable dredging system, locally owned and operated. If there is water enough to float the barge, we can reach it, dredge it, and leave your site clean.
Our barge-mounted dredge creates a vacuum effect at the auger cutterhead, pulling silt and sediment off the bottom and pumping it through a floating pipeline we rig with cables across your water. On shore, the line feeds a geotextile dewatering bag that collects the solids while releasing clear water back into the lake.
Getting rid of the silt and sediment that accumulates over time restores water quality and depth, and improves fish habitat, all safely and without draining your water down.

Silt builds up in every pond and lake, year after year, until the water is shallow, warm, and murky. We dredge it back to its intended depth without draining a drop. Water quality improves, fish habitat recovers, and the shoreline you remember comes back.
Municipal and private sewer lagoons lose treatment capacity as sludge accumulates. Our portable system removes built-up solids while your lagoon stays in service, keeping you in capacity and ahead of compliance issues.
When slips and dock frontage silt in, boats scrape bottom and lifts stop working. We open up marinas, HOA waterfronts, and residential boat docks to usable depth, working around structures a big dredge could never touch.
Everything we pump goes into a geotextile dewatering bag anchored on flat, level ground on shore. Polymer treatment separates solids from water inside the bag, clear water returns to your lake, and the bag stays in place for three to six months until the dried material is ready for final placement or haul-off.
The DINO6 is a portable hydraulic dredge built around a high-torque, direct-drive auger cutterhead and a 6-inch submersible pump. At roughly 4,000 pounds it trailers to your site and launches where full-size dredges cannot go, then digs from 1 to 13 feet below the surface.
