Manual Removal
Truxor
The Truxor amphibious machine is a versatile, multipurpose piece of equipment designed to operate effectively in both aquatic and marshy environments. It is widely used to remove aquatic vegetation and algae in addition to dredging, and other tasks. Its small size allows the Truxor to work in tight spaces and is especially effective at clearing around docks and lifts.
Barge Dredging
ILM offers mechanical dredging services performed from a barge comprised of an excavator mounted on a floating platform. Sediment is deposited in “totes” on deck for quick and efficient collection of material. Once full, we drive the barge to shore to empty the totes using a vacuum truck. This compact yet powerful vehicle is equipped with a large, enclosed tank and a high-powered vacuum system. The suction pulls up the sediment from the totes, through the hose, and into the truck’s sealed holding tank. This method is fast and clean, minimizing the amount of spillage during the sediment transfer process.

D.A.S.H.
If you live on a lake or pond, you know how nuisance aquatic plants can grow out of control and get in the way of how you enjoy using the water. On the other hand, some native plants are needed to provide oxygen, food, and habitat that contribute to a healthy, balanced aquatic environment. Native plants are especially important if you want to support fish or other forms of wildlife. D.A.S.H., or Diver Assisted Suction Harvesting, allows us to remove the “bad” plants while leaving the right amount of “good” plants needed to keep your lake or pond healthy.
