Please contact us to learn how we can help you transform your pond into a beautiful space and sanctuary. Dragonfly Pond Works is the dredging contractor you can trust to meet the needs of your pond or stormwater system. Our solution was low-impact and cost-effective. The staging area was fully restored and residents are once again able to safely enjoy their community pond. While its smaller size allows for easy use, this powerhouse dredge can tackle almost any task.The Dragonfly Team has restored this Charlotte pond to its healthy and compliant state. What sized jobs can the Dino8 work on?Ī: The Dino8 is the best dredge for medium-sized jobs. How do I move this around on the water?Ī: a small John boat or tender is enough to position our Dino8 on the job site. What are the options for launching the unit?Ī: The machine can be floated directly off our trailer, or hoisted. We are firm believers in the fact that the exceptional levels of production that we achieve are directly related to the amount of pressure we can exert into the workface by way of our he cable rigging. Is there an option for non-cable operation?Ī: Not at this time. What is the draft of the Dino8?Ī: 18″ for operational needs. How does this differ from the Dino6?Ī: The Dino8 has twice the capacity for volume “or” pumping distance of the Dino6. Steady, trackable progress across the job, moving cubic yards per minute.Ī: Baseline at 2CY of insitu material per minute. The unit travels back and forth along a 3/8″ cable drive system (windlass pulley drive) allowing an enormous amount of energy to be brought to bear on the work surface and also countering the effect of current, wind, and pipeline pulls. The pump is one of our own 8″ submersible hydraulic units designed to work efficiently in a wide variety of materials including sand and cobble.

The cutterhead shroud includes porting for water-jetting.

Our cutterheads are manufactured with readily serviceable wear parts. Those circuits include the cutterhead, pump, windlass, and winches. The power plant turns hydraulic pumps to deliver horsepower to all of the hydraulic circuits as needed. We have chosen a JCB engine to power the Dino8, for performance, reliability, and global support. It all starts with a set of compartmentalized stainless steel floats, that we manufacture in house and pressure check prior to utilizing. The Dino8 dredge is a sediment removal system designed with the small footprint we are known for, and the incredible pumping capacity we always deliver.
