![]() ![]() Wow first off that response rate was impressive, 6 in forty minutes. Does anyone have any idea if this will work? How big/powerful of a pump will we need? How manuverable is the pump head will it need to be attached to the dock? Any insight would be great, we're just trying to get any idea of what we could do. The area we'd like to clear is about 20x30' and we'd be fine with just clearing a few spots if the 20x30 area ends up being too large. ![]() The area we'd like to move is a very soft mud with a sandy bottom we're trying to reach. The ditch would be about 300ft away and 25 ft uphill. ![]() We've been considering renting a 3 or 4" trash pump and pumping the material up to a ditch/containment area we'll make. The channel was originally only about 5 ft deep so now that were down to about 3ft in most places we've decided to see if we can do anything about it. The channel was man made about 30 years ago and over the years the weeds and other material that have floated down have caused about two feet of sediment build up. We've got a place at the end of a channel and the prevailing winds inevitably blow anything and everything down to the end of it. On the other hand, this unit will provide you with the means to renew the quality of your waterfront, and the quantity of removed sediment will be limited only by the amount of time & energy that you put in to it.I posted this message on Planetnautique and received no replies, this is a bit more of a DIY crowd so hopefully someone out there has some ideas. Even expensive industrial dredges can’t do that. The mud is not going to come out of your discharge hose looking like toothpaste. You are also going to have to be prepared to deal with the fact that you will be pumping a lot of water along with the sediment. If you are cleaning a modest area, such as around a dock or boat slip, you can expect to get the job done relatively quickly. These volumes may vary depending upon the nature of your sediment, distance pumped, and your energy & skill level, but many operators state that they are able to pump a much larger volume than our estimates. The excavation capability of our dredger is about 60 cubic meter of water per hour, along 6 cubic meter of sediment per hour. ![]() Our suction dredger is particularly effective in removing sand, silt, and that fluffy black stinky mud that ruins the waterfront and prevents one from enjoying beach and water activities. ![]()
