This private lake required dredging to improve water quality prior to stocking with trout. Ideally there was a field
adjacent for the silt to be spread on keeping transport costs to a minimum and improving the soil quality.
The lake is drained and the water diverted.
The plant is delivered and dredging begins.
The trees surrounding the lake are thinned to enable access
Long reach excavators mean minimal access points
The silt is tipped on an adjacent field.
The silt is later spread and allowed to dry before being ploughed in to improve the soil.
