Impianti Draganti has been operating for years in the construction of complete plants for the extraction and washing of aggregates, and it offers eco-friendly pump dredgers capable of reaching depths of up to 60 meters. These dredgers are designed not to interfere with the ecosystem of the surrounding environment and are built according to the specific operational needs of a port, canal, river, quarry, or mine.
A key element is the disaggregation system used to facilitate the solid suction of the pump: water jets, cutterheads, or cup disaggregators. The first type uses water pressure to move the material, while the second and third types physically act on the sediments, avoiding pollution of the surrounding environment and reducing the turbidity of the water surface.
Where a dredger can operate:
- In rivers, canals, and ports to open navigable waterways by lowering the seabed;
- For cleaning rivers, ports, or canals;
- At sea along the coasts for beach nourishment where erosion has occurred due to tides;
- To extract aggregates for construction, industrial, and environmental use;
- In ponds, to oxygenate the water by removing the muddy or clayey layer for fishery conservation;
- For pipeline crossings.
