Recently, we were commissioned to assist with the dredging of the Horncastle canal. Working in collaboration with the Environment Agency and several other companies, our new clamshell bucket mounted on our 65 PM proved to be an ideal solution.
The closure of one highway lane, facilitated by traffic management and temporary traffic lights, minimised disruption to the public and enabled safe vehicle operation in a controlled working area.
With a reach of up to 16 metres and the capacity to remove up to 750 kilograms of material at a time, it was the only machine suitable for the task.
The last recorded time a dredging operation was conducted in this area was over two decades ago.
It is imperative to restore the canal’s flow to prevent flooding during heavy rainfall and to encourage wildlife into the slower-moving sections of the current.
We thank our client for their trust and business, and we look forward to future projects.
