Lake Dredging Example |
This is an example of a fesh water lake dredging operation. The objective of the operation was the removal of silt from the
lake bottom to restore lake capacity from years of infiltration. Silt was dredged from the bottom of the lake and pumped to
a series of belt presses. The belt presses then compressed the slurry, separating the water and silt. The silt was then
conveyed into piles to be used as fill. Many other different methods may be used to dispose of dredged material. Contact us
for more information on dredging processes.
