Dredging equipment
Dredging equipment is specialized machinery used to remove sediment and debris from the bottom of water bodies like rivers, lakes, and harbors. This process helps maintain navigable waterways, supports construction projects, and aids in environmental restoration. Common types of dredging equipment include cutter suction dredgers, bucket dredgers, and trailer suction dredgers.
These machines work by either sucking up material from the seabed or mechanically scooping it out. The collected sediment is then transported to a designated location for disposal or further processing. Dredging is essential for maintaining water depth and ensuring safe passage for vessels.
