Underwater Dredging

What Is Underwater Dredging?

SATIF is the first European company to develop a dredging pump specifically designed for underwater work. SATIF teams deploy unmatched sediment pumping capacity, with or without the assistance of divers, thanks to an extraordinary system that is unique in France.

Our dredging system is designed for high-solids water suction applications.

The specificity of our pump allows us to achieve high dredging performance even with a low proportion of water. The sucked materials can be of any type (sand, silt, mud, rock), up to 15 cm in diameter, with a flow rate ranging from 300 m³/h to 600 m³/h depending on the different configurations.

Our pump operates in 3 configurations, enabling us to respond to all types of situations

• Diver-assisted dredging
• Dustpan dredging
• Cutter suction dredging

Fields of application

• Dams
• Canals
• Locks
• Lakes and rivers
• Road and rail engineering structures
