Full Turnkey Dredging Solutions

How We Can Help

S.A.M.E Dredging offers custom, full turnkey dredging solutions, prioritising safety, cost-efficiency, and regulatory compliance. With nearly 20 years of experience, we bring precision and innovation to every project, utilising advanced equipment and technology. Our mobile dredging equipment  efficiently remove sediment and vegetation from inland waters, quickly restoring their original depth.

Why You Should Work With Us

We provide the following full turnkey dredging solutions:

• Site assessment, water body surveying and sludge/silt analysis

A sediment-focused site analysis is essential to effectively manage the common environmental problems associated with pond and dam oversilting. This involves detailed water body surveys and sludge/silt assessments to understand pond and dam sediment build-up and its impact on site operations.

We provide a practical solution using an echo sounder mounted on a GPS-linked, remote-controlled boat. This system maps water depth and sediment layers, producing a 3D sediment profile. Additional probe measurements verify total sediment depth, enabling precise volume calculations.

• Dredging solutions project design & development

As part of our dredging solutions, S.A.M.E Dredging offers project design and development services. This begins with identifying the specific need or issue to be addressed, such as site maintenance, construction, environmental improvement, or protection. This initial stage involves outlining the project’s purpose, desired outcome, budget, potential challenges, required resources, and responsibilities. This stage also takes into account the surrounding environment, potential impacts, project costs, and the specific dredging equipment required.

• Site establishment and preparation

Site establishment and preparation are critical to the success of any dredging project, this ensures safe, efficient, and environmentally compliant operations. This process includes securing site access and logistics for transporting equipment and personnel, as well as conducting detailed hydrographic and topographic surveys to map and mark the dredging area. All necessary environmental permits and regulatory approvals are also obtained during this phase. Safety measures, such as signage, barriers, and emergency response plans, are implemented to protect personnel, while environmental controls like silt curtains and turbidity barriers are installed to minimise ecological impact. We ensure that our clients are given the best dredging services by overseeing every step of this process.

• Dredging

Using state-of-the-art dredging equipment and engineering expertise, S.A.M.E. Dredging conducts comprehensive dredging operations to effectively excavate and ensure sediment removal and other materials from diverse aquatic environments. This contributes to preserving and improving the storage capacity of dams and ponds critical for water security and environmental remediation projects in the industrial and mining sectors.

• Dewatering

Dewatering is the process of removing water from solid materials or soil. One method for achieving this involves the use of dewatering bags, which are large, strong containers made from a special woven polypropylene fabric. We offer dewatering bags as well as dewatering services.
