Most of the work of the hydraulic horizontal auger dredge occurs beneath the surface of the water and within the dredge itself. This video shows overall progression of the dredge on a single pass of dredging of the basin. The video highlights the overall cleanliness and stealthness of the operation and the supporting dredge spoil discharge pipeline both in water and over land and the resulting dredge spoil discharge. Please note that portions of this video have been time duration compressed so as be able to show you motion of the dredge within a shorter period of time than they actually occur. This single pass on this video is approximately 4 minutes in viewing length, but actually occurs over a 32 minute period of time.
