Silt Removal Services

Organic material such as algae, weeds and leaves often accumulates at the bottom of water bodies, necessitating removal. AUS Dredge and Dive specializes in silt removal, essential for industrial purposes and the overall health of aquatic environments.

If not addressed promptly, silt buildup can cause various problems. It reduces water depth, increases flood risks, and generates unpleasant odors as it decomposes. Additionally, silt can obstruct intake pipes and irrigation systems, posing a significant threat to aquatic life. Our pond cleaning services are designed to prevent these issues.

At AUS Dredge and Dive, we employ a range of tools and techniques to efficiently and thoroughly remove silt from ponds, lakes, and other water bodies while minimizing environmental impact. We manage all aspects of silt removal, including on-site solutions that eliminate the need for costly off-site disposal. Each project begins with a comprehensive survey to determine the most effective approach for your specific situation.

Silt removal can be accomplished through several procedures. Hydraulic suction pumps can penetrate the sediment and carefully extract it from the bottom, leaving the rest of the ecosystem undisturbed. Another increasingly popular method involves dewatering bags that dry the silt for future use as compost in landscaping projects. These solutions are often more cost-effective and successful than traditional mechanical dredging techniques.

With years of experience, field experts, and top-of-the-line equipment, AUS Dredge and Dive is prepared to meet your project needs, emphasizing efficiency and superior service. Our team is equipped to handle any job, big or small. Contact us today to learn more about how we can assist you.
