Backhoe Dredging

We have an effective solution when the materials to be dredged, such as clay or rock, cannot be removed with a suction hopper dredger.

Etermar has jack-up pontoons equipped with hydraulic excavators from 70- to 270-tons, with dredging capacities of up to 19m in depth.

For even harder materials that cannot be excavated directly with a bucket, we have an XR120 13-ton Hydraulic Ripper with a working hydraulic pressure of 22-24 MPa.
