1. What is a dredger?
A dredging machine is used to remove sediment, debris, or other materials from the bottom of water bodies, such as rivers, dams, canals and harbours.
2. What is the purpose of dredging?
Dredge systems help to prevent flooding, improve water quality, and support infrastructure and economic activities related to shipping, fisheries, and land use.
3. How do you choose the right dredging equipment?
When choosing dredging equipment, the following factors need to be considered. The type of dredging project that is being undertaken (maintenance, construction, or environmental), the material that needs to be dredged, and the depth of the waterway. S.A.M.E. Dredging can assist with a consultation to recommend the best full turnkey dredging solution in South Africa.
4. What are the advantages of using a dredging solution vs. excavating?
Dredging solutions offer several advantages over excavation. Dredging machines can handle softer materials, such as mud and sand, are able to work in confined spaces, are able to be transported on one truck, and do not damage dam liners.
