Zambia has thousands of kilometres of rivers, lakes and canals to look after. There’s always sediment silting up a waterway, invasive aquatic plants blocking navigation, or a reservoir losing depth. Different jobs usually mean different types of machines to buy, transport, operate and maintain.
Watermaster changes that.
Zambia’s Ministry of Transport and Logistics uses a fleet of Watermasters to handle these tasks with the same equipment and operators. Each machine can dredge, excavate, clear vegetation and drive piles. With Watermasters around the country, the ministry does not need to bring in a different type of machine from far away when work changes. The Watermaster already in the area can do the new job.
The ministry can use the fleet for planned maintenance, send the nearest Watermaster to urgent work, such as clearing a blockage before it causes flooding, or bring several together for a bigger project. Each machine launches, moves and anchors independently, with no cranes or assisting vessels. It can work in shallow sites that are hard or impossible for conventional equipment.
Simply put, Zambia chose Watermaster to keep its waters cleaner, safer and better functioning, with fewer machines and lower costs.
