Watermaster Classic can do backhoe dredging with a backhoe bucket or with a rake. It can remove floating or rooted vegetation, harmful stones and trash from the bottom. With the backhoe equipment it can build discharge areas for suction dredging, when they are located near the shore. Often the bottom needs to be cleaned by backhoe work before the pumping.
By suction dredging Watermaster Classic can pump the soil through a pipeline to a discharge area, which can be located up to one and a half kilometres away. In this process the soil is mixed with large amounts of water, 80-90 % of the total volume. In the discharge area the solid substances are separated from the water. That is why suction dredging requires careful planning of the complete process, starting from the actual pumping work at the site to the separation of solids and removal of clean water after the separation process.
With Watermaster technology it is possible to drive piles from the water. This protects the shores and enables pile driving at a considerable distance from the shore.
Watermaster Classic saves the nature. By using its multipurpose technology it is possible to complete all the jobs at the site with one machine. There is no need to mobilize several one-purpose machines like a single-purpose suction dredger, an excavator on a pontoon, tugboat or assisting vessels for anchorage to the site.
The environmental Watermaster Classic offers economical high quality solutions for restoration work in various water environments.
