To ensure the continued optimal use of waterways, harbours, estuaries, lakes, ponds and sand extraction pits, professional dredging is essential. Timely dredging maintains water depth and prevents blockages and silting. This ensures that an area remains not only accessible, but also safe and sustainable in the long term.
As a Dutch dredging company with more than 35 years of experience, we specialise in executing dredging projects. Over those years, we have grown to become a reliable partner for both small-scale and complex inland dredging projects, wherever quality, flexibility and innovation are key. Our expertise includes, among other things, the following activities:
Not every location is suitable for standard equipment. This is precisely where our strength lies. We conduct dredging activities in places where other equipment such as tracked dumpers, tracked excavators and suction dredgers are unsuitable. We carry out our work in areas that are difficult to reach or access such as:
The dredging equipment we have developed in-house enables us to work efficiently and safely in these challenging conditions. Examples include amphibious excavators and DOP submersible dredge pumps, which allow us to dredge effectively even in vulnerable or hard-to-reach areas.
A successful dredging project starts with thorough preparation. That is why we carefully consider the best approach right from the start. From consultancy and project preparation to the full execution of dredging works, we offer a complete service. We supply a comprehensive solution that matches the specific situation and objectives of the project. Electric dredging is now also possible.
We also provide support on sub-projects and dredging equipment rentals. This allows us to move quickly and deploy tailor-made capacity when needed.
Our activities are wide-ranging and highly versatile. Because of this versatility, we are able to provide a suitable solution for any dredging-related issue. These activities can be applied in a wide range of projects, such as:
We use a modern and versatile fleet of equipment to carry out our projects, from amphibious excavators and modular pontoons to dredging pumps, workboats and pipeline systems. This versatility allows us to work efficiently in a range of conditions.
In addition to use on our own projects by our dredging company, the dredging equipment is also available for rental. This allows us to offer reliable and well-maintained equipment, tailored to the specific requirements of the project.
No two dredging projects are the same. That is why we work not only with standard equipment but also with smart combinations of specialist equipment. By deploying machines, pumps, pipes, hopper barges, workboats and complementary technologies in a modular way, we are able to put together the most efficient solution for each project.
A good example is our screening dredger. It arose from a specific project requirement, which called for a combination of dredging and on-site separation. By integrating existing technologies into a single working solution, we were able to make the process significantly more efficient and sustainable.
Specially developed for working in low load-bearing areas and hard-to-reach locations. Thanks to their amphibious undercarriage with low ground pressure, they can dredge efficiently on land and in water
Powerful submersible pumps for pumping sludge, sand and other dredged material over longer distances. Ideal for hydraulic dredging in combination with floating pipe and HDPE.
Developed in-house for shredding coarse materials and vegetation in water and pumping them to the disposal site.
Developed in-house, combines dredging, screening and processing in one pass. Separates coarse particles (such as wood or plastic) directly from the dredged material, making transport and processing more efficient.
Our way of working and more than 35 years of experience in dredging enables us to respond flexibly to a range of circumstances, from limited accessibility to complex execution methods. Whether you require dredging services, dredging equipment rental, or have a specific challenge or project enquiry, please feel free to contact us. We will be pleased to exchange ideas about the available options and work towards a practical and effective solution together.
Water, nature, and innovation come together in our approach. Drawing on our knowledge and technology, we create sustainable solutions that contribute to a future-proof living environment for people, animals, and plants.
