Antoine’s project covered city drainage channels and river sections. Manual dredging was slow and risky.
YG’s small dredge for sale features a modular design for easy transport and installation. From delivery to operation, the project took only 15 days.
During dredging, the automatic sludge removal system enabled continuous operation. In deep water, Antoine used underwater cameras for precise cleaning. With a small dredging machine‘s accuracy, over 150m³ of sediment was cleared daily, 2.8 times faster than traditional methods.
Results & Client Feedback
In three weeks, over 3,000m³ of sediment were removed:
- Drainage efficiency increased 45%
