A dredging contractor was contracted to dredge the sediment from a Delaware based chemical plant's wastewater settling pond.  The pond residual was to be dewatered wtih a belt press.

A pond  in Tennessee had accumulated silt over time which needed to be removed.  The objective was to economically remove the silt and dewater it for subsequent usage on the site.

Geotube® containers were selected to dewater the contaminated residuals being pumped and from this raceway and underground tunnels in Massachusetts. The residuals from the dredge were pumped and chemically treated to a primary Geotube® and the filtrate was pumped and chemically treated again as it was sent to a secondary tube. This filtrate was then sent to a water treatment plant on site and discharged into the river.

This shipping canal in Illinois had accumulated contaminated oil sediments from a decommissioned refining facility. A pilot study was initiated to evaluate performance of hydraulic dredging and subsequent Geotube® dewatering of the sediment. Over an 8 day period 400 linear feet of Geotube® was pulse filled to capacity. WaterSolve, LLC provided the tubes, polymer, make-down equipment, and technical service to perform this study.

This town in North Carolina needed it’s canal system dredged to provide homeowners with better boat passage from their homes to the larger bodies of water for fishing and recreation. State regulations required the dredge water meet stringent requirements before it was returned to the canal. WaterSolve successfully chemically treated and settled this water to meet the regulations and keep the dredge operating in compliance.

A build-up of organics, sediments, very fine silt and clay created a major navigational problem for members of the Queens Lake Marina Association, in York County, VA. A contract was issued to dredge and dewater sediments in the boat slips and outside the enclosed slip area.

The Whitefish River was contaminated with diesel oil and solvents. Clearwater Dewatering of Nampa, Idaho and WaterSolve, LLC worked with Rocky Mountain Dredging, LLC for the dewatering of the solids. The project began in September 2010.
