Industrial & Municipal Lagoon Dredging

Dredging of Industrial and Municipal Lagoons can be very complicated. AWS Dredge specializes in minimizing the risk of contaminating areas. The material contained in these lagoons need to be handled with care. Our Company's innovative dredging disposal options have included relocation, dewatering/flocculation, composting and land application.

AWS Dredge Disposal Options:

• Overland pipeline-hose systems 
  • Used to pump to permanent or temporary retention ponds.
• Sludge Dewater/Flocculation
  • Use of geo-textile tubes where dredged material is pumped and dewatered and hauled away as a viable resource such as fill, top soil or even fertilizer.
• Land Application
  
  • Big gun spray irrigation systems
  • Direct tractor injection
  • Tanker truck surface land application
  • Topsoil blending and composting

AWS Dredge has mastered these applications to dispose of biosolids from lagoon dredging.

The benefits of land application are that disturbed soils can be restored and revitalized through the addition of organic matter. Lost top soil is replaced with nutrient-rich, organic biosolids and improves fertility and stability. Soil improvement and land reclamation projects use biosolids to increase the amount of nutrients and organic matter in poor or damaged soil. Biosolids recycled on agricultural lands produce plants with essential nutrients that speed growth and increase crop yield. Modern treatment process and strict controls on discharges to waste water treatment plants contribute to high quality, recyclable biosolids. Land applications promote plant root growth and generally help plants grow greener, more vigorously and often with improved yields.
