TT Marine Amphibious Excavator
Marine Services
T&T Marine pride ourselves in creating smart, custom solutions in our workshop which are implemented in the field by our experts using state-of-the-art equipment. While we routinely develop innovative systems to tackle smaller dam or river maintenance dredging & desilting services to prevent flooding during rainy seasons, we also assist project managers working on large projects with invaluable services such as:
- offering support for specialised or problematic projects to the primary contractor
- assisting with or providing RTK GPS base stations and moving base application
- the fabrication of technical designs at our metal works at the IFAFA workshop
- completing big and small Bathymetric Surveys, providing the necessary processing for the client in conjunction with our hydro-graphic surveying team
The development of our amphibious excavator – a first in South Africa – which performs dredging operations while afloat, is the perfect solution for shallow waters such as swamplands and better adapted to removing silty clay, desludging, or working in environmentally sensitive areas as it offers a more low-impact dredging solution.
For the really tough spots, our ‘infamous’ Long Reach Excavator can reach out up to 15 metres, using GPS-guided Digsystems for instant information on your digging operation, precise within 0.2m, which can be used on specialised barges if needed.
Engineering
Our Engineering division specialises in designing & building our own dredgers, floating pontoons, and custom equipment for innovative solutions to our clients’ dredging and desilting needs. We’ve recently expanded our floor space to make commissioning these machines faster and easier. A real standout is our amphibious excavator which is the only one of its kind in South Africa, and can be customised to any specification or site-specific requirement.
This means we’re uniquely equipped for small excavation jobs that others might find tricky. Whether you need silt removal, small dam dredging, or general dam cleaning, we’re ready to jump in at short notice. We take the same world-class expertise we use for major harbour works and apply it to farm lakes or dams and pond desilting, ensuring your water systems stay clear and functional.
