Amphibious dredges are specialized machines designed to operate seamlessly in both water and soft terrain, providing unmatched flexibility for dredging, reclamation, and environmental management. ITECH Co., Ltd. offers high-performance amphibious dredges engineered for durability, efficiency, and precision in diverse working conditions.
An amphibious dredge is a hybrid dredging system equipped with floating pontoons or low-pressure tracks, allowing it to navigate shallow water, swamps, or marshy areas where conventional dredges cannot operate. These machines combine excavation, sediment removal, and land reclamation capabilities in one unit.
Floating Pontoons or Amphibious Tracks: Ensure stable movement across water and soft ground.
Hydraulic Excavation System: Enables efficient digging of sand, silt, and soft clay.
Sediment Handling: Some models include slurry pumps for relocating dredged materials.
Advanced Control System: Semi-automatic or fully automated controls provide precision and safety.
Versatile Operation: Capable of working in rivers, lakes, wetlands, and floodplains.
Access to Difficult Locations: Ideal for projects in areas with limited road or waterway access.
High Productivity: Excavation capacities range from 80 to 250 m³ per hour depending on dredge size.
Environmentally Responsible: Minimal disturbance to aquatic habitats due to precise bucket control.
Cost-Effective: Reduces the need for multiple machines by combining dredging, reclamation, and excavation functions.
A typical ITECH amphibious dredge includes:
Excavation Capacity: 1–3 m³ per bucket
Operational Depth: Up to 12 meters
Amphibious Track Length: 5–10 meters
Engine Power: Diesel or hydraulic drive
Optional Slurry Pump: For sediment relocation and water management
Custom designs are available to meet the specific requirements of different projects.
Q: Can amphibious dredges operate in environmentally sensitive areas?
A: Yes. Their controlled excavation minimizes sediment dispersion, protecting aquatic ecosystems and wetland habitats.
Q: What types of materials can they handle?
A: Amphibious dredges are suitable for sand, silt, soft clay, and light gravel. Some models can also handle organic sediments.
Q: How do they differ from standard dredging equipment?
A: Unlike fixed dredges, amphibious dredges can traverse both water and soft land, offering unmatched mobility and versatility.
Q: What maintenance is required?
A: Routine inspections every 250–500 hours and periodic overhauls every 3–5 years ensure consistent performance.
Amphibious dredges are widely used for:
Wetland Restoration: Removing sediments and maintaining natural water flow.
Flood Control: Clearing riverbeds and marshes to prevent overflow.
Mining and Material Excavation: Extracting minerals from shallow water or wetlands.
Port and Waterway Projects: Maintaining navigation channels and controlling sediment accumulation.
