It is a floating platform equipped with a dredging system, used to remove sediment, sludge and material deposited on the bottom of ponds, reservoirs and basins, operating directly on the water.
The barge is positioned over the area to be dredged and, using a suction and discharge dredge, suctions the material from the bottom and pumps it to the treatment area, without the need to drain the pond.
It is used for desilting treatment ponds, removing tailings, cleaning reservoirs and recovering the useful volume of industrial basins.
No. Barge dredging takes place with the pond in operation, with no need to shut down wastewater treatment.
The material is sent for dewatering (geobags or centrifuges) and then for environmentally sound disposal, with documented traceability.
