Innovative solutions to sediment management in Ports, Waterways and Reservoirs
About Us
The patented Wing Marine Sediment Extraction System provides a new and cost-effective answer to sediment management that can be easily tailored to operate and meet specific needs in water depths of 10 to over 180 feet. The transportable system comprises of two 40x60 foot modular vessels with low noise emissions that are designed to function in protected waters, minimizing the impact on the local environment.
Capabilities
Harbors
The Wing Marine Sediment Extraction System can sweep up to 1500 cubic yards per hour of sediment from a berth to a stockpile, depending on the sediment characteristics. A single pump can extract 500 cubic yards per hour from the stockpile for disposal. Any underwater obstructions are exposed but do not stop sediment removal. A typical berth takes hours, not days, to clean, freeing it for the next vessel and reducing demurrage time.
Waterways
Wing Marine can maintain shipping channels and waterways continuously. Our vessels can operate at the depths required, and our vessels' small footprint will not interfere with waterway traffic.
Reservoirs
The modular design of the vessels allows for transportation to almost any location. Ou system's ability to avoid underwater obstructions, and move sediment against the current or uphill, provides a unique solution to the removal of sediment to restore reservoir capacity. Depths of up to 200 feet are entirely within our design parameters.
Other Applications
Dredging equipment can be installed on offshore vessels for deepwater usage. Other system applications include the installation, exposure and reburial of underwater pipes and cables, vessel salvage, capping of contaminated sediment, cleaning sediment off of shellfish beds, and underwater archaeology.
