The Role
\n
Run our Mud Cat hydraulic auger dredge — pulling sludge, sand, and accumulated solids out of pits, ponds, lagoons, and impoundments and pumping them to dewatering/treatment equipment. Clean, safe, and at a production rate that keeps the job profitable.
\n
\n
We work produced water and frac pits, process and wastewater lagoons, settling basins, and impoundments across energy, industrial, and municipal sites. This is an auger dredge — parallel, measured cuts and a flat, even bottom. If you've only run a cutterhead or hanging-pump dredge, know the difference before applying.
