ADC newest equipment the Silt Pusher a.k.a. the ‘floating bulldozer’ has proved its worth over and over again with projects for the environment agency in Suffolk, Lincolnshire and Buckinghamshire.
The very old bridge had a weight restriction and overhead power lines restricted access, making it impossible to dredge and de-silt safely by conventional means using an excavator. On top of this a power cable had been laid below the river bed.
Then using our high-tech dewatering rig we could return the water and take the dry ‘caked’ waste to an approved local waste site for disposal. The waste was reduced by 75% using this process minimising transportation and waste costs.
Thornbourgh Mill is a grade II listed building surrounded by picturesque countryside so it was imperative the waste was removed and the nature preserved.
“The whole project went very well, was closely managed and from setup to completion took 8 days” quoted Mike Reeve.
