A brand-new Mud Cat® MC 50E electric remote-controlled dredge is commissioned to clean out a reservoir in a remote area of Nicaragua. The MC 50E is transported in one ocean container and is easy to transport and launch on site. The MC 50E utilizes an environmentally friendly horizontal auger cutterhead with anti-turbidity shroud creating an even bottom profile. The dredge can remove precise parallel rows of material that are 7 ft.-6in. (2.3m) wide x 15 7/8th in. (403mm) deep and up to 1,000 ft. (305m) long. The end result is an even bottom profile, no turbidity plumes, consistent % solids pumped throughout the dredging process, and restored capacity in the reservoir.
