Amphibious excavators are utilized in a wide range of tasks and applications, which are presented as follows.
Industrial Applications
As we all known, amphibious excavators are mainly used to work in swamps and wetlands. However, amphibious excavators are a variety of other industrial applications where amphibious excavators can do a great job:
Amphibious excavators are referred to as the best option to be used for excavation tasks around riverbeds, oceanic costs, and most importantly, in the areas which have been hit by floods recently. Amphibious excavators can help optimize operating time and save tons of expenses in such areas. In addition, amphibious excavators can make the job easier in several other applications, which include disaster and flood recovery efforts, environmental remediation, dredging, highway laying, and pipeline laying.
Environmental Dredging
Amphibious excavators are not only limited to the construction areas but can be extended to work for environmental dredging. Traditional excavators can make the task much harder in shallow water depths because, in such depths, the excavators can get stuck or not reach the desired area. On the contrary, amphibious excavators are versatile equipment that can be handled well on land and float on water. Thus, the operator doesn’t have to think hard about whether he should be operating too far from the edge of the water or too close.
The pressure on the ground is analyzed by the weight and tracks of the amphibious excavators machinery. If the equipment is of convenient weight and has wide tracks, it means there will be no excessive pressure on the ground, and the operation can be carried out. On the other hand, deep furrows can emerge if the equipment is heavy. Moreover, mounting a dredge pump to the excavator guarantees optimal production and movement rates.
Excavation Dredging and Suction Dredging
Excavation dredging is usually carried out in shallow water areas, which go down to at least 9 meters. This kind of excavation dredging must be done with amphibious excavators because they provide optimal performance and don’t have a limited reach. Besides this, amphibious excavators can remove stones or mud, clean industrial waste ponds, and transform warehouse spaces.DIGDOG amphibious excavators can ensure the maximum operating depth of 14m, and the machine transportation is convenient and fast.
Dredging of reservoir and input channels in the hydroelectric plant
At the bottom of the dam reservoir and inlet channels, a variety of sediments get accumulated. Using the amphibious excavators, these sediments can be dredged to maintain sufficient flow for several plant operations. It is also done to ensure that the internal machinery of the hydroelectric plants is maintained and taken care of.
Cutting of aquatic vegetation
With the help of amphibious excavators, unevenly growing aquatic vegetation at the bottom of a lake or a river can be cut down. To prevent the regrowth of the plants, it is important to take out the complete roots of the plant. If the conditions demand, the operators can use special hydraulic tools to remove aquatic vegetation.
DIGDOG amphibious excavator can be customized multi-functional attachments according to customers' needs. At the same time, the engine is powerful, durable, and low fuel consumption. It meets the national three-stage emission standard and can meet all application requirements.
