The Catfish™ mini dredger is compact, robust and easily transportable. Catfish is ideal for cleaning tailings dams, sludge ponds and waste water ponds. The Catfish is readily transportable between job, being less than 2 tons and capable of being placed in a 20 foot container or on a std flat bed track.
Catfish™ is a practical dredging option for small to medium dams, lagoons, storages or containments allowing for efficient and cost effective waste removal and maintenance programs.
Performed by devices known as dredgers or dredges, the task of dredging is essentially an excavation, which is done underwater.
While used for everything from the harvesting of seafood from the sea floor, to managing the flow and balance of waterways, the most common uses for dreding are in the mining and construction industries.
Operators of dredges are usually subcontractors, booked to for dredging work that will often be crucial to the project at hand. Dredgers often travel to remote locations where their services are required.
Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) is a new kind of engineering thermoplastics ...
... with more than 3 million viscosity-average molecular weight. Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene pipe has superior performance over conventional HDPE pipe such as very high wear resistance, impact resistance, excellent resistance to internal pressure strength.resistance to environmental stress cracking, intrinsically self-lubricating, anti-adhesion, low temperature resistance and excellent chemical resistance.
UHMWPE (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) > 3,100,000 + MW. resistance to environmental stress cracking, intrinsically self-lubricating, anti-adhesion, low temperature resistance and excellent chemical resistance.
Attributes of UHMWPE Pipes Abrasion resistance,Chemical resistance,Flexibility,High flow capacity,Ease of installation.
UHMWPE by virtue of its extremely high molecular weight yields several unique properties, including the highest abrasion resistance and highest impact strength of any plastic. UHMWPE pipes can be used in a broad range of mining and industrial slurry applications due to its three main characteristics: high impact strength, outstanding abrasion resistance and extremely low coefficient of friction.

water strider, also calledpond skater or skimmer, any insect of the family Gerridae (order Heteroptera), which numbers about 350 species. Water striders, often seen running or skating in groups over the surface of a pond or stream, are slender, dark coloured, and generally more than 5 mm (0.2 inch) long.
With their short front legs they capture insects that fall onto the water’s surface. In crowded conditions water striders have been known to prey on each other. The middle and hind pairs of legs are long, sometimes more than twice the length of the body. The middle pair is used for propulsion, and the hind pair is used for steering.
GSI fabricates GEOSTRUX Geotextile Tubes used in a wide variety of projects where dewatering of sediments and industrial wastes is required. GEOSTRUX™ Geotextile Tubes are fabricated to exacting tolerances that allow them to be used for dewatering of contaminated sediments, fly ash, copper tailings and at numerous marinas, lakes and rivers.
Geotextile Tubes that will accelerate the dewatering process. As the sediment enters the
Geotextile Tubes, the sediments particles will flocculate increasing the size of the particle.
Marine Dredging is a broad term and includes the use of any device to move any material from one part of the sea or sea bed to another part. This includes dredging for any purpose, for example, creating new channels or berths, maintaining existing channels or aggregate dredging for commercial supply. This also includes all types of dredging, for example, suction dredging, water injection dredging or sea bed levelling.
