Most dredges that dig down to 18m take 4 to 8 trucks to transport and would be impossible to launch if they could actually make it to the remote reservoir sites.
The Versi-Dredge can reach to a maximum depth of 9.1m (30 ft.) and the Depth Master can reach to a maximum depth of 18m (60 ft.), ideal for reservoir reclamation. There are many dredges around the world that can reach 18m, but the Versi-Dredge is the only one that has a ladder mounted pump, is self-propelled, and can ship up a narrow mountain road in two sections. In addition, they are easy to assemble and launch once they get to the job site. The Versi-Dredge and Depth Master are ideal for dams as they are one-truck and two-truck transportable dredging systems that are easy to mobilize over narrow roads overlooking steep cliffs.
Reservoir Dredgingĭredging is a necessary maintenance activity for reservoirs around the globe. The Versi-Dredge can be used to clean out shallow areas like coves and, if necessary, the Depth Master can be used to clean deeper lake areas like dams. The IMS Versi-Dredge’s patented Starwheel Drive self-propulsion system allows the dredge to move easily in coves and along shorelines during lake restoration without the use of anchor cables or swing wires, which can damage boat hulls and docks. IMS Versi-Dredges have been used and are currently in use in lakes around the globe to increase property value, restore public lakes for tourism, and to clean contaminated lakes for future generations to enjoy.

Natural erosion, pollution and deforestation all contribute to the clogging of reservoirs with silt and other debris that threatens these resources. They are also the food source and habitat for many species of plants and animals. Reservoirs provide drinking water and power to human populations around the globe. Lake dredging can prevent eutrophication and, in most cases, can reverse the process. As silt and nutrients overtake a lake, massive vegetation and algae build up and can lead to a state of eutrophication and death of the local fish population due to hypoxia – or lack of oxygen. Without routine dredging and maintenance, lakefront property values decline significantly as access to docks diminish and water becomes murky.
The construction process itself can silt up a lake shoreline if proper erosion control safeguards are not put into place. Lake dredging is increasing in demand around the globe as cities restore inland lakes for tourism, and developers build high-end real estate on every square foot of shoreline possible.
