UW-Tech specializes in a variety of suction dredging methods.

Handling of suction dredged material:

• Geobags: Here the material is pumped into large cushions with the addition of suitable polymers. The material is effectively dewatered inside the cushions.
• Centrifugation: A rapid rotating motion squeezes the liquid out of the material.
• Back-suction: The material can, if possible, be sucked back into original sources such as sewage systems or ponds.

Methods of dredging:

• Construction divers: Our certified divers extract the material directly from the sea or lake bed. This method is particularly effective and safe thanks to our specialized equipment for diving in contaminated environments.
• Crawler robot: For tunnels and confined spaces, we use a crawler robot equipped with a suction hose, video and 2D sonar. No physical presence in the tunnel is needed.
• Suction dredger: For larger areas, use our advanced suction dredger.
• Wire rope pontoon: Ideal for dredging in shallow water areas.

Protection methods:

• Environmental Curtain/Silt Curtain: We always establish an environmental curtain around the dredging area to minimize the environmental impact.
