Precision Dredging Starts with the Right
Services & Equipment
Dredging Africa has a range of solutions for a range of problems. What we have learned from experience is that there are no two jobs that are the same. Each project has its unique characteristics and its unique challenges. In Dredging there is no “one size fits all” solution. Therefore we treat every request as a unique problem for which a unique solution needs to be found.
Dredging Africa has a team of specialist civil engineers who are able to understand the challenge and who will advise, guide and propose to our Clients the best solution for their problem. Without a proper plan, our projects are bound to fail!
With an arsenal of different tools in our toolbox, we will select the appropriate tool for the application and build the solution around the specific circumstances for the job. We value our Clients’ knowledge of the projects and we work together with them to find the best solution.
Remember: “Every One m3 of silt removed = One m3 of water storage space recovered”
The typical range of services that we
are involved in are the following:
