- Our services
We offer engineering services to
tackle the
challenges in the
management of fine
sediment slurries. Our solutions are based
in nature and thus "low tech", but
their
performance is comparable
to these of a
"high tech" solution
without the associated elevated
financial and environmental
costs.

A solution for the long dewatering times of fine sediment
mixtures: dredged sediment, mine tailings, waste water
treatment sludge.
A solution to improve water recuperation from fine sedimentmixtures, as well as to increase the amount of sediment that we are able to store in a certain compartment.
A solution to increase the otherwise typically weak strength displayed by a soft sediment bed, enabling walking or capping.
A solution to decrease turbidity during dredging at
a turbid water body.
A solution to re-valorize your fine sediment.
A solution to create biologically active land without excessive waiting times.

Every day hundreds of thousands of m3 of mud are
dewatered by local fauna in the world. Nature was and will
always be the best engineering tool for muddy systems,
transforming the freshly deposited mud into the local type
of sediment bed or soil.
