A sustainable, environmental solution for sediment removal and sediment management projects.
Our process uses the proprietary Streamside - Sediment Collector (sometimes referred to as a bedload interceptor). This environmentally-friendly technology offers a new sustainable approach to sediment management to help resolve sediment related issues. The Sediment Collector operates on the principle that sediment moving as bedload can be captured by gravity and removed at the natural rate of transport, instead of episodically. These systems can be implemented in rivers, streams, coastal applications, inlets, and other sediment impacted waterways.
How it works
The system passively removes the targeted material as it flows over the Sediment Collector. From here, the clean-washed material is pumped onshore and stockpiled. The removed material can be used for beneficial reuse or marketed for commercial use, therefore minimizing or eliminating the use of a CDF. We work with our clients to develop a practical solution and establish an innovative sediment management program.
Benefits
- Scalable for a wide variety of sediment harvesting applications
- Selectively capture and remove targeted harmful or excess bedload sediments
- Capture excess bedload sediment during regular flows or major storm events
- Lower downstream grade to reduce flooding and reduce sediment deposition
- Reduce sediment deposition in navigation channels
- Establish sustainable sediment management program
- Sediment can be reclaimed, providing an inexpensive source for clean sand
