Rivers and Lakes

Long-wearing dredge pumps are required for the maintenance of rivers and lakes

Dredging is vital to the navigability of rivers and lakes, and the operation of tailings storage facilities in mining. Dredge pumps are also used to harvest sand and gravel used in construction and various other applications. Dredging equipment used in these variable settings face several challenges. Dredge pumps need to be powerful enough to extract high concentration slurries from depths of 10-15 m. Since they are called on to handle abrasives such as sand, silt or gravel, along with muck and debris, the wear life of these pumps is limited. Durable and efficient dredging pump solutions help reduce both scheduled and unscheduled downtimes, lower operating costs and improve overall productivity.

GIW’s robust tailings ponds slurry pumps handle high-concentration slurries with ease.

KSB’s line of GIW^® slurry pump supplies a wide range of dredging solutions for rivers, lakes and other intra-coastal waterways. The excellent suction characteristics of GIW pumps are ideal for inland dredging applications including the deepening of lakes, widening of waterways and maintenance dredging. KSB also provides products for all aspects of tailings management, from tailings pumping to tailings transport systems as well as solutions for pumping reclaimed water and land reclamation. GIW® dredge pumps offer long wear life and consume less energy and fuel.
