Material Separation and Water Treatment Solutions

At Indy Dredge, we provide high-performance material separation and water treatment solutions built for demanding dredging environments. Our systems, including advanced vacuum dewatering technology, durable geotextile tubes, and customized temporary dewatering ponds, help streamline operations and improve project efficiency.

At Indy Dredge, we use a patented vacuum dewatering system designed to deliver fast, dependable results on even the toughest slurry jobs. This system outperforms traditional drying methods by using high-efficiency vacuum technology to accelerate water removal and stabilize material for transport or disposal. The outcome is shorter drying cycles, smoother workflow, and consistent productivity across all dredging operations.

Speed and Efficiency

Our Slurry Vacuum Dewatering process is built for demanding field conditions. These vacuum dewatering systems work at remarkable speeds, making them ideal for large sediment volumes and tight project schedules.

Modular and Flexible Design

The system’s modular layout allows it to pair seamlessly with different dredge setups, offering easy integration and flexibility across a wide range of site conditions.

Reliable, High-Performance Results

Using industry-grade vacuum dewatering equipment and dewatering vacuum pumps, we deliver strong, consistent performance even when dealing with heavy, contaminated, or fine-grain slurry. Each setup is engineered to maintain stable flow, maximize dewatering efficiency, and support cleaner, more controlled operations.

Advanced Patented Vacuum Dewatering Technology

At Indy Dredge, we utilize geotextile tubes as a highly effective and dependable solution for sediment containment and water separation. These heavy-duty tubes are built to handle the demanding slurry conditions common across lakes, retention basins, stormwater systems, and industrial sites throughout the region.

High-Capacity Dewatering Performance

Our dewatering geotextile tubes are engineered to manage substantial slurry volumes, making them ideal for large-scale pond cleanouts, lake restoration work, and industrial sediment removal. Their strength and capacity allow for continuous operation without unnecessary stoppages.

Cost-Effective Sediment Management

By using geotextile tube dewatering technology, we help reduce the need for complex mechanical systems and additional labor. This approach brings down overall project costs while still delivering reliable, high-volume dewatering.

Environmentally Responsible

Our sediment dewatering tubes are designed to meet environmental guidelines and permitting requirements across the Midwest. They trap solids effectively while allowing filtered water to exit the tube, supporting clean-water discharge standards and minimizing ecological impact.

Geotextile Tubes for Dewatering

Simple Setup, Low Maintenance

These tubes are fast to install and require minimal oversight, giving project owners a dependable option when timelines are tight or access is limited. Whether working along shallow lakes with mucky bottoms or constrained industrial sites, the system stays efficient and easy to manage.

Versatile Across Project Types

From silt and fine sediment to sand and contaminated material, our geotextile solutions adapt to a wide range of dredging scenarios. They are useful for municipalities, industrial facilities, environmental cleanups, and private lakefront restoration projects.

We offer reliable temporary pond construction services to support customized dredging for ponds, large-scale pond excavation and dredging, and complex pond sediment removal projects across the region. These temporary ponds play a key role in managing water flow, settling slurry, and improving overall sediment removal for ponds during active dredging operations.

Custom-Built for Your Project

Every site is different, especially in areas with shallow, mucky bottoms or tight access. That is why we design and build each temporary pond to match the exact layout, water volume, and sediment conditions of your project. This customized approach ensures cleaner separation and more predictable dewatering results.

Better Sediment Handling and Control

Our temporary pond setups help slow water movement, allowing suspended solids to settle efficiently before final dewatering. This improves project flow, reduces clogging issues, and supports cleaner discharge—especially important when dealing with heavy organic loads common in Indiana’s ponds and stormwater basins.

Fast Setup to Keep You on Schedule

We understand the short work windows and weather-driven timelines in this region. Our crew can deploy and establish temporary ponds quickly, helping your project stay on track without unnecessary interruptions.
