ENVIROMENTAL CERVICES
Environmental services have been a part of our range of services for many years:
Water maintenance
Flood protection
Dyke rehabilitation
We make the water bodies fresh. Whether river, pond or lake!
Our amphibious vehicle designed specifically for the water maintenance and is very versatile with its comprehensive range of accessories.
Ideal is Truxor for desludging of sewage treatment plants, ponds and rivers. With a large selection of tools he can be used widely:
cut reed or sea grass, contain the growth of it also carry out dredging, digging, remove leaking oil and much more.
The buoyancy combined with the low ground pressure allows the use particularly in conservation areas and other sensitive areas, without harming the environment.
The amphibious vehicle offers excellent possibilities for various use in wetlands management. The change from driving on the country to ride on the water is very simple. Even in narrow channels and around obstacles, it is ideal usable.
Our amphibious vehicles are an average age of less than two years and are on the newest stand.
Possible fields of application:
Cutting Bar: for reed beds in swamp and shallow water areas.
Reed rake: collection and transport of cuted plants
Doro pump: vacuuming and desludging of mud or sludge
The excavator arm with shovel and excavator bucket for remove of mud, sludge or other materials.
Geotube®dehydration
To fill the large, water-permeable geotextile tubes Geotube® we use our amphibious vehicles. The amphibious vehicles are sucking the sediments with the excavator pump.
The advantages of this type of sludge removal are various:
no water reduction necessary
mild gentle intervention in nature (little or no damage from the shore through the hoses)
the clean water exits through the permeable material of Geotube®
after several days, the contents can be removed as a solid and disposed of or reused
Using a centrifuge, chamber filter press or TenCate Geotube® the sludge can be thickened or dewatered.
The Geotube® is filled by pumping through tubes with mud. As the fluid escapes through the material of the Geotube®, the solids are retained. The filling process takes so long till the Geotube® is filled.
After dewatering, the solids can be processed as a dry substance. Depending on the type, these substances can be economically transported and disposed of or reused.
Geotube ® is registered trademark of TenCate
How the system is working:
1. Filling the Geotube®
Mud will be pumped into the Geotube® container . Environmentally friendly flocculants are mixed into the mud, they bind the sludge particles and separate them from the water.
2. Drainage
Clean water escapes the TenCate Geotube® hose. About 99% of the solids are retained, the clear waste water can be collected and reintroduced into the System.
3. Consolidation
Solids remain in the tube, the reduction in volume amounts to up to 90%. If the TenCate Geotube® is full, he and its contents can be defined or dredged and to be brought to the landground.
