Desilting of Dams, Lakes, Water Reservoirs & Maintenance Dredging of Ports

Transforming Dredged & Desilted Material Into High-Value Engineered Sand.

Dams, lakes, reservoirs, and commercial ports undergo regular desilting or maintenance dredging to remove accumulated silt and maintain safe, efficient operations. These essential activities generate large volumes of dredged material that are often difficult to handle, transport, or dispose of.

CFlo provides advanced wet processing solutions that convert this desilted or dredged material into consistent, high-quality sand, turning an unavoidable operational by-product into a valuable resource for construction and infrastructure.

Our Role in Desilting & Maintenance Dredging Projects

CFlo does not engage in water-body restoration, deep-sea extraction, or ecological rehabilitation. Our expertise is purely in beneficiating the sediment removed during:

  • Desilting of dams
  • Desilting of lakes and reservoirs
  • Maintenance dredging of ports and navigational channels
  • Silt removal from water storage and industrial water bodies

We specialise in turning this material into usable, specification-compliant sand, reducing waste volumes and creating new supply for the construction ecosystem

Challenges in Handling Dredged & Desilted Materials

  • Highly variable particle sizes and moisture content
  • Sticky, fine sediments difficult to process
  • Large volumes requiring continuous handling
  • High costs of transport, storage, and disposal
  • Limited commercial reuse pathways without beneficiation
  • Pressure on port and reservoir operators to minimise waste footprint

Our Solution

CFlo’s wet processing systems are engineered to manage fine, high-moisture sediments from both inland desilting and coastal/port maintenance dredging operations.

Key Features

  • Engineered for challenging dredged silt - Efficiently handles fine, silty, clay-rich and moisture-heavy feed.
  • Continuous feed directly from dredge pumps Ensures regulated plant loading and smooth, uninterrupted operations
  • Flexible deployment options Installations can be shore-based or barge-mounted, depending on port or inland site constraints.
  • High-quality sand production - Output sand meets construction and reclamation specifications
  • Significant reduction in disposal volumes - Dewatered fines streamline logistics and lower costs
  • Reliable, field-proven equipment - Suitable for long-duration desilting and port maintenance programs.
