Why Kentmorr EcoDredge?
Accurate and efficient dredging process
Years of accumulated sediment, excessive growth of aquatic plants or pollution
build-up in a body of water can lead to eroded beaches, degraded water quality
and limited boat access. Decreased water depth means lost revenue for the marine
industry, lower commercial and residential property values and limited recreational
opportunities. Kentmorr EcoDredge introduces you to a safe, efficient and noninvasive method of marine dredging that will provide you with accurate results.
Compared to the typical process of marine dredging which removes 100 cubic yards
per day, the EcoDredge equipment dislodges and suctions the material in one step,
removing as much as 150 cubic yards per hour!
Committed to reducing environmental impact
Kentmorr EcoDredge is committed to reducing environmental impact through our
eco-friendly approach to marine health. Our company is founded on the mission to
practice the most sustainable methods for dredging, shoreline stabilization, habitat
creation and beach renourishment based on our complex understanding of coastal
geology and coastal development.
Complete and reliable marine dredging solutions
Kentmorr EcoDredge services include the use of
state-of-the-art equipment and technology
including an Elliott Dragon™ Cutterhead Dredge,
the only such hydraulic dredge operating on our
Chesapeake Bay region.
• Engineering Companies
Unlike other dredging operations, Kentmorr EcoDredge provides turn-key solutions
to your dredging needs including planning, site surveys, permitting and execution.
Using the latest survey instruments equipped with GPS bottom-mapping technology,
you’ll see accurate before and after pictures of the dredge site. If you need help in the
permitting process, you can rely on our expertise in engineering and regulatory issues
to provide recommendations and analysis. And finally, when it’s time for execution,
our professional approach to sediment removal and disposition is more accurate, more
efficient, safer and cleaner than the traditional dredging process.
Compare the benefits
Mechanical dredging relies on an unsightly barge, scowl and push boat operation
that need anchoring and takes up a large work area over the duration of many
months. When excavated material is lifted from the bottom with a clam-shell or
excavator bucket, it’s handled in multiple steps, so it increases the chance of spillage.
This process is less accurate, dirty and does not result in an even bottom profile.
Plus, it’s invasive to your property and/or business.
Savings for the client and the environment
Most marine contractors use outdated mechanical dredging equipment normally
intended for land use. Cranes and excavators, transported and placed onto steel
barges, are used to dig and scoop material from the marine bottom. This method
requires more horsepower—and therefore more fuel—resulting in grease, oil and
emissions being released into the fragile marine ecosystems.

Swinging ladder dredge utilizes a powerful 40hp cutter head which dislodges
material by slicing while the integral suction head removes sediment
Integrated system of digging depth and
heading sensors combined with a dual
antenna GPS system provides the operator
with real time accurate dredging information
that is recorded and processed on the system
laptop computer. Pre- and post-survey
information is modeled in stunning visual
representations of the dredged area.

Kentmorr EcoDredge equipment on the other hand, utilizes a hydraulic pipeline
process—considered the most environmentally sound method of dredging and the
only one of its kind used in our Chesapeake Bay region. The equipment is designed
and built with the latest eco-friendly products available such as the tier 3 lowemission engine which meets current EPA requirements, biodegradable hydraulic
fluid, non-toxic marine coating and a low-noise engine.
