This video shows a Land & Water Cutter Suction dredger animation.

Our 10” cutter suction dredger, is the largest single-load suction dredger in Mainland Britain, and in the appropriate locations can achieve some colossal outputs.

This video shows a Land & Water Cutter Suction dredger in operation.

Powered along the sea/lagoon or lake bed by hydraulically operated “star wheels “ or additional surface winches, the dredger “hoovers” sediments from the floor of the water-body, using a cutter/scroll agitation head. Immediately behind the cutter bar is the hydraulically driven pump that has the capability to push an admixture of water and sediments up to 1,000m without assistance, and further distances with the addition of simple booster-pump stations.

To broaden the market place for this efficient form of dredging Land & Water’s environmental team have been working with regulators on a number of schemes to monitor and record the operations of the dredger, as it undertakes sensitive mudflat regeneration works and estuarial discharge operations. Sophisticated monitoring buoys and environmental risk management systems have helped demonstrate the positive deployment of the dredger.  A number of repeat customers demand its regular visitation.

Land & Water have retro fitted a bespoke DGPS dredge control system to the vessel to enable maximum outputs and insure 100% of the dredge areas are covered and trimmed to the appropriate tolerances.
