As per dredging is concerned, it is the excavation activity or operation usually carried out partly underwater either in shallow or fresh water areas. The purpose is mostly to collect the sediments at the bottom of water and dispose them at different locations. This is mostly used to increase the depth and breadth of water to make it more navigable.

We have worked on dredging on different projects which have helped in beach restoration, deepening and broadening of canals, ecosystem restoration, land reclamation and island creation.

 Green Globe and its partners who worked under the umbrella of the company have dredged clogged canals at Cape Coral in Florida. These canals have not been dredged for 10 years and most of them are located in the southwest quadrant of the city, South of Hancock Bridge Parkway and Santa Barbara Blvd.

 Some crews worked on dewatered cells with large piles of sand taken out of the canal. The intention was to increase the available land for the city. The goal of this Grator dredging is to dredge out 47,000 cubic yards of sand and clean the area of scooping oil spillings and clearing the water of weeds and water hyacinth to make it more navigable.

The city had a survey of all the canals and found that 51 of them needed dredging.

 The city has asked us to make the water 24 feet deep more than 15 feet of the existing 9 feet depth.

 According to the data available, relating to more than 1.2 million fish, originating from different 154 species sampled over 10 years studies of St. Sebastian River by Florida Fish and Wildlife Research Institute, the dredging didn’t have a considerable influence on the fish population.

 LAND RECLAMATION and ISLAND CREATION

 ISLAND CREATION:

 Only recently, we worked on a project in California to deepen the channel and the materials dredged from the channel construction were used to add nearly 200 acres of land to the port. This would help to accommodate an expected doubling of cargo moving through the port in next 10 years.

 The dredging of 6 million square yard of materials produced water depths of 15 feet to 24 feet to accommodate containers as well as dry bulk vessels.

 Among the dredgers we work with are swinging dragons, Dragon Cutter head dredges, Super Dragon Cutter head Dredges, Wheel Dragon Bucket wheel Dredges and Sand miner. The Bucket water Cutter head dredger is very good in sand mining and the bucket wheel excavator helps in dredging hard and solid rock at the bottom of the sea.
