Suction Dredging

With Watermaster, you can effectively dredge in shallow waters, even in areas with trash and aquatic vegetation. Watermasters ability to dredge a large area from each position and to quickly reposition when necessary ensures that almost all of the total operational time is spent actively dredging. The patented, submersible Watermaster Cutter Pump enables you to dredge up to 900 cubic meters of sludge per hour and discharge up to 1.5 km away. Need to go further? Just add a booster pump.
