Dipper Dredges and clamshell dredges, named after the scooping buckets they use, are the most common types of mechanical dredges that can work in tightly confined areas.  These were so efficient that they allowed shipping and dredging simultaneously without hindering the traffic. Mechanical dredging is effective for the precise removal of materials, often used for debulking or construction purposes, and allows for controlled disposal of the dredged material - mechanical dredging.

Hydraulic dredging is instrumental in maintaining and improving navigation channels, harbors, and ports. Removing sedimentation and obstructions ensures safe and efficient waterway transit, benefiting trade, transportation, and economic growth. Throughout the dredging process, environmental monitoring is crucial to assess the impact on the water quality, marine life, and surrounding ecosystems. Measures are taken to minimize adverse effects, ensuring the project adheres to environmental regulations and permits. Hydraulic dredging can be very efficient to move material from one location to another.

When the blades make contact with the seabed or riverbed material, they cut and loosen it, allowing the material to be drawn up into a suction tube. Auger suction dredge operates on the same principles as a cutter-suction dredge, except that the mechanical cutting tool is a rotating Archimedean screw placed at right angles to the suction pipe. As natural flow helps transport sediment, this method is cost-effective and much more environmentally friendly than the other two. The dredged sediment is picked up and placed on nearby land or in water or, most of the time, in another barge dedicated to carrying the sediment - mechanical dredge.

Our dredging equipment stands as a game-changing innovation in the field of sediment removal, slurry pumping, and waterway management. With its unique and patented technology. Hydraulic dredging is highly efficient in removing sediments and debris from water bodies due to powerful pumps and suction pipe systems. It allows for precise targeting of specific areas requiring dredging, minimizing disturbance to surrounding environments. In this dredging method, a specially equipped vessel features two suction pipes, one on each side of its hull. For more information, please visit our site https://www.Pacificmaritimegroup.com/
