Small-scale dredging: precise, sustainable and targeted

Smart dredging
Small-scale dredging is all about precision, flexibility, and minimal impact on the environment.
Smals carries out these operations in parks, small marinas, estates, water features, and vulnerable natural areas.

Our specialised dredging equipment and experienced teams ensure that silt, sediment, and vegetation are removed in a controlled and sustainable way. Excavated material is reused wherever possible, for example as a resource for nature restoration or landscape development.

Small-scale dredging requires a tailored approach: each project is unique and demands consideration for water quality, flora, fauna, and the local surroundings. In this way, we combine technical expertise with respect for nature, recreation, and developments around the water.

Smart dredging
Road-transportable modular dredging equipment
Smals’ dredgers are modular and road-transportable, making them suitable for open waters, harbours, reservoirs, and enclosed sand extraction pits. They can reach both shallow and deep water layers, from seventy centimetres to seventy metres. Depending on the project, the machines are equipped with a rotating cutter head or a suction pipe. Noise, energy consumption, and CO₂ emissions are continuously minimised.
