"there were three diggers set on a floating platform which moved slowly across the full surface of the lake, dredging over the course of almost nine months. Along with the diggers, there were six hoppers which went backwards and forwards, bringing the silt from the platform to land. This removed silt was relocated up to Great Park, where we are creating a landform (a hill or mound) over 16ha. This land will then be returned to grassland." - Charlie Oakes Contracts Manager
UKD Seadragon
The SEADRAGON is a next‑generation multi‑role dredger featuring electric propulsion and the flexibility to operate in both water‑injection and plough modes. UKD selected a custom DredgeMaster system for the vessel, fully integrated with the wider fleet and remotely managed by the UKD survey team from their Cardiff offices.
The SEADRAGON helm control centre. All controls close to hand and the DredgeMaster Dredging System for undertaking even the most complicated underwater projects. Drawings, areas of work and Survey updates via DM-WEB can be exchanged from the the Office to the Vessel for a dynamic, fast response.
