Naturally Smals

Always a targeted approach to small- and large-scale dredging

Smart dredging
At Smals, dredging is much more than moving sand and silt. Our expertise contributes to deepening waterways, maintaining harbours, clearing water bodies, flood protection, extracting construction materials, and future-proof area development. In doing so, we provide valuable contributions to a high-quality living environment as well as strategic societal goals.
With dredging, we always make things better. Cleaner, more accessible, and safer. Smals focuses on protecting and improving the living environment. We respect nature and take climate change into account. On a dredging project, we work closely with our clients, governments, land developers, environmental and nature organisations, and other infrastructure contractors.

Our skilled specialists deliver unique solutions with robust equipment— increasingly electric and emissions-free where possible. Sand extraction with our dredgers goes hand in hand with the creation of new nature or recreational areas. In this way, we develop smart dredging every day in close collaboration with the environment, its residents, and our clients.

Road-transportable modular dredging equipment
Smals’ dredgers are modular, road-transportable, and therefore deployable not only on open waters (harbours, canals, lakes, etc.) but also in (semi-)enclosed water bodies and locations (sand extraction pits, reservoirs, water supply areas, retention basins, etc.). They can reach both shallow and deep waterbeds, from seventy centimetres to fifty-five metres. Depending on the assignment, the machines are equipped with a rotating cutter head or suction pipe. Noise, energy consumption, and CO₂ emissions are continuously minimised.
