As most of us know, the act of dredging is when a dredge removes materials from the bed of a body of water and moves them to another place. That being said, did you know that there are two major dredging methods? If not, they are mechanical dredging and hydraulic dredging, and within each, there is a variety of equipment, both old and new. In essence, mechanical dredging is the act of using a dredge that digs materials from an extraction site. Most often, there is a stationary, bucket-oriented machine that scoops the desired materials before transporting them to the sorting area. Below, we will briefly discuss some of the mechanical methods that are and have been used for dredging - mechanical dredging.
Hydraulic dredging is centered around the concept of transferring dredged materials from the dig site to a processing location for sifting and sorting. It involves creating a slurry—a fluid mixture comprising elements like rock, dirt, and gravel—which is then transported to a sorting facility.
