ADC purchases a second boat

Following the success of the first silt pusher to be launched in UK four years ago, ADC has purchased the larger C86s silt pusher.

The Silt Pusher

The Floating Bulldozer

The Silt Pusher is ADC’s newly purchased piece of equipment from Holland. It makes light work of drain and de-silting problems. The silt pusher, basically a floating bulldozer, vastly improves drain clearance quality even with difficult access. Ultimately it saves our customers time and money.

How the Silt Pusher Boat works

The perforated dozer blade is mounted to the Silt Pusher boat with hydraulic height and angle control, making clearance of differing drain widths very easy. The blade is pulled through water, or on top of silt, by a powerful winch within the boat and 300m of cable tethered to the embankment beside the excavator.

Clean and profiled finish to the bottom

The operation is simple, fast and accurate, resulting in a clean and profiled watercourse bottom. The silt slurry is pushed along the watercourse to point where it can be extracted.

Efficient engine

A Conver silt pusher is completely hydraulically driven and is fitted with an industrial diesel engine that drives two hydraulic pumps. All systems are designed to function efficiently even at low engine speeds, which contributes significantly to fuel economy, noise emissions and durability.

Developed, tried and tested in Holland

Conver supply speciality boats for drainage works. Their boats are used extensively in Holland and silt pushers are on approximately 80% of the internal water courses and main drains.

Now in high demand

Most of our Drainage Boards have a use for this new drain/dyke/canal clearance method, but would not be able to to find enough work to have one of their own. It has already created a great deal of interest and we have provisional orders placed. We have several large watercourses to clean for the environment agency.

ADC have invested in 1 Silt Pusher boat to primarily work with the de-watering equipment. We expect to be going back to Holland to order further machines.

IN BRIEF

  • Unique equipment in UK
  • Ideal for difficult access
  • Huge time saving
  • Quality finish
