Please review this site, and you can see pictures of recent jobs and information that will help you plan for your dredging project.

Mechanical Dredging Services

Mechanical Dredging may be the best choice versus Hydraulic Dredging, depending on several different factors. If you have a lot of stumps, trees, and debris, mechanical dredging can be a better choice. Also, a distant disposal area for your sediments may be a reason you may choose mechanical dredging, the further away the site you may need to have the sediments hauled away by our trucks. The distance a hydraulic dredge can pump the sediment is limited. Dredging from shore with one of our 60-foot Long Reach excavators can make it convenient to dredge and remove sediments for areas that need to be dredged close to shore. Whether it be a pond, lakefront, canal, inlet, or boat slip, a lot of our mechanical dredging equipment can reach it effectively. Permits: Sometimes the type of permit approved will dictate whether the area needs to be dredged mechanically, which we can handle for you. Costs, for smaller projects, are sometimes the best solution in mechanical dredging. We can discuss and review your project and determine which process is best for you. Our company has both Mechanical and Hydraulic dredging equipment, both large and small machines, to meet your needs. for MI, WI, IN, OH, IL, IA, PA, KY, TN, SC, GA, TX, FL, AL, AR, CO, SD, ND, MN, MT, WY.

Hydraulic Dredging Services

Hydraulic Dredging can be done successfully with our fleet of large and small hydraulic dredging machines. We understand each project has its own unique set of circumstances, and this is why we offer hydraulic dredging and mechanical dredging services. With hydraulic dredging the dredge has a discharge line that can be seen in the pictures, at the rear of the machine, using floats to support the line existing in the hydraulic dredge. From here the temporary pipeline continues, and the lines will continue across water or are laid on the ground surface until they reach the sediment disposal area. The hydraulic dredge has an auger-type head that rotates and chews into the sediment or vegetation, then vacuums the sediments into the temporary pipeline, which is pumped through until the sediments reach their destination, a spoils site or geotextile bag. (Further down the page, we discuss the use of geotextile bags). The dredge can often remove the sediment and pump or transfer the material several thousand feet away, depending on the size of the hydraulic dredge or if the spoil or sediment site is transferred up or down a slope. Hydraulic Dredging, for example, can be a cheaper process when transferring large amounts of sand, because you can transfer it quicker if the disposal site is nearby. Again, our company has both Mechanical and Hydraulic dredging equipment, both large and small machines to meet your needs. No matter what your circumstance is.

Dredging in Depth, One of the Best Sources of Organic Weed Control

Dredging a River
Sediments removed from lakes, canals, rivers, and ponds are commonly removed to improve navigation; restore recreational access for leisure boating, swimming, and fishing; or regain lost storage capacity in water supply reservoirs. Dredging is also done to remove nutrient-rich sediments, remove toxic substances, reduce rooted aquatic plant growth, lessen sediment resuspension by winds and waves, and improve fish habitat. www.dredgingariver.com

Lake and Pond Dredging can improve water quality by reducing the
amount of nutrients available from the sediments, thereby reducing nuisance algae blooms. This can occur through direct sediment removal of nutrient-rich sediments, or by deepening the lake enough to allow thermal stratification to develop and thereby limit nutrient movement from deep-water areas to the upper waters. Lake and Pond Dredging in areas of rooted aquatic plants controls their growth through direct removal of the lake weeds, removing nutrient-rich sediments, and also can limit future regrowth if the new water depths are deeper than sunlight can reach. For lakes that freeze over in the winter, fish survival can be enhanced by removing oxygen-demanding sediments - aquatic vegetation and creating deeper water areas. Contact a Lake and Pond Dredging company that will be looking out for your best interest in the future.

Large & Small Hydraulic Dredging Equipment to meet your dredging needs, www.swampthing.us.

Adavance and Updated Hydraulic Dredging Technology:
Hydraulic Dredging Contractor: The hydraulic dredging equipment we use is versatile, self-propelled, provides increased dredging, and flow capacity, and will hydraulically dredge effectively highly abrasive sediments. Hydraulic Dredging units have a large cutter head system with dual hydraulic motors embedded in a stepped auger, with pump performance ranging from 2600-3500gpm. Working capacity from 9.5 wide by 13/22 inches in diameter and working depth up to 22 feet. (we also have smaller units below) 

Dredging the Real Answer for Aquatic Weed Control - problems with Herbicide or Chemical use. Remove years of sediments, and add water depth, which is important to deter weed growth. The more sunlight penetration, usually the more weed growth you will have. Which starts out with high nutrient levels on the lake bottom, which can be found at times after too much use of chemicals. The problems with chemicals will keep decomposing the plant and adding sediment to the bottom of the lake. Which adds nutrients for weed growth. You, why do you have to keep paying more in chemical treatment each year?? People say dredging can be expensive, but what if you pay $75,000 for 10 years for chemical control($750,000). Not to mention, what harm did you just put into the water? How much biomass is not on the lake? How much did it cost you?

Swamp Thing Dredging & Aquatic Weed Control Services can meet all your Hydraulic and Mechanical Dredging needs. Let us Dredge and put our Dredging Equipment to use for you. Whether it is for dredging a Marina, dredging a Lake, dredging a Pond, Marine Dredging, Channel Dredging, or Canal Dredging, our Dredging Companies have excellent muck, sand, and sediment removal capabilities.

Dredging a Canal

Hydraulic Dredging a Canal and into the lake with the combination of our mechanical dredging equipment has made us experts in this field. We use both Hydraulic and Mechanical Dredging equipment to thoroughly clean canals, marinas, and channels. The mechanical dredging unit can be especially useful for pulling sediment that is too close to the shore for the hydraulic dredging machine or reaching under permanent docks. Also, when there are a lot of stumps, old dock posts, or abundant aquatic vegetation, the mechanical unit can move this debris out of the way and allow the hydraulic dredging unit to do its job more efficiently. We can provide you with better and more thorough services. Contact our office at 1 (855) 305-0233,
