Cost-Effective Lagoon Dredge Equipment
How To Dredge Your Lagoon
A lagoon dredge system works by lowering a pump with a cutter head onto the lagoon floor and agitating the target material at the bottom. The agitated material is then pumped through a discharge slurry hose to the desired end location.
The dredge sled unit shown above is operated by an easy to use automated winch system, requiring only one operator to dredge the lagoon. Another option is to use an excavator with a pump attachment to pump difficult solids.
Restoring Lagoon Capacity
What is Lagoon Dredging?
Lagoons are classified as a shallow body of water separated from the ocean or larger bodies of water. Lagoons are commonly used for municipal wastewater treatment and other industries such as dairy processing, fracking, wineries and fruit/vegetable processing. Target materials in lagoons vary in consistency and abrasiveness. Mature fine tailings found in mine waste are notorious for their highly abrasive qualities found within quarry lagoons.
Over time sediment and sludge accumulate at the bottom of the lagoon causing an unsightly appearance and odor. Industrial lagoons also known as settling tanks are prone to reaching or exceeding original design capacity and require maintenance lagoon dredging to maintain optimal efficiency.
Understanding Lagoon Dredging
Why Dredge Your Lagoon?
The main benefits of dredging your lagoon are:
- Restore and maintain design capacity
- Ensure optimal wastewater treatment efficiency
- Improve the look and appearance of lagoon
- Eliminate odor, sludge and muck

Dredge Project Consulting
- Easier to install and maintain, the horizontal slurry pump, a type of dredge pump, allows for quick access to pump components, making repair jobs straightforward. During repair jobs, pumps are completely disassembled for thorough inspection. All components are carefully inspected, and any parts not meeting standards are replaced. After reassembly, the pump is tested to ensure reliable performance. These steps help extend the service life of the hydraulic pump and maintain equipment reliability. EDDY Pump can also provide dredging project managers to oversee sediment projects and remediation projects, ensuring that all aspects of the dredging project are managed efficiently and in compliance with environmental regulations.
- Requires more room, due to its larger footprint compared to vertical
- Implementing best management practices and evaluating management alternatives are essential for effective material management in any dredging project.
Vertical Slurry Pump
-
Less smaller footprint, allowing the dredge pump to be implemented in hard to reach jobs
-
More versatile, can be cable hung straight down and inserted directly into medium to pump target material. The vertical slurry pump can also be used in mechanical dredging operations where minimal water addition is required.
-
The vertical slurry pump is typically situated within the excavator or dredging system so that it is optimally positioned for efficient material handling and performance.
-
More difficult to repair and tougher maintenance
