Dredging Equipment
Efficient, Field-Proven Systems Built for Demanding Mining Environments
Our Equipment
At Tennessee Dredge, we operate a modern fleet of advanced dredging equipment built to handle demanding projects across rivers, ponds, lagoons, and industrial sites. Our lineup includes high-performance slurry pumps and dredges from EDDY Pump, rugged earth-moving equipment and excavator solutions from Hawk Excavator, and reliable dewatering pumps from DAE Pumps, ensuring efficiency, durability, and dependable results on every job.
Excavator Pump Attachments
The EDDY Pump Excavator Pump Attachment converts standard excavators into powerful dredging machines, ideal for confined sites, shoreline work, and sediment removal in hard-to-reach areas. These excavator pump attachments are widely used for industrial ponds, stormwater basins, and riverbank work where traditional dredges are not practical.
Available in hydraulic excavator pump attachments or electric configurations, each attachment for excavator use delivers high solids-handling performance with minimal clogging. This makes them especially effective for industrial dredging services in Tennessee, municipal cleanup projects, and infrastructure maintenance where precision and mobility are critical.
Excavator Pump Attachment Capabilities
High-Volume Pumping Performance
Flow rates ranging from 700 to 4,000 GPM, delivering production capacity of up to 350 cubic yards per hour, depending on material type and site conditions.
Extended Reach Dredging Configurations
Compatible with long-reach dredge booms, enabling dredging depths of up to 85 feet; ideal for deep ponds, lagoons, and confined waterways.
Multiple Discharge Size Options
Equipped with cutterhead attachments for compacted material dredging, along with optional water jetting rings to assist with material breakup and agitation.
Liner-Safe Dredging Capability
Optional liner-safe configurations designed for dredging clay liners, poly liners, and concrete-lined basins without damage.
Flexible Power Configurations
Power options include hydraulic drive from the excavator, a dedicated hydraulic power unit, or electric drive, allowing adaptation to site-specific power availability.
Non-Clog and Cutterhead Configurations
Available with both non-clog pump heads and cutterhead designs to match slurry density and debris conditions.

Dredge Sled Systems
The EDDY Pump Dredge Sled is a proven solution for efficient sediment removal in ponds, lagoons, and shallow water bodies. Commonly used as a pond dredging sled or lagoon dredging sled, this system rests directly on the bottom and continuously removes sediment without disturbing surrounding structures.
For projects requiring controlled sediment removal, the Dredge Sled offers consistent depth control and strong solids handling. It is frequently deployed in farm ponds, wastewater lagoons, and small reservoirs throughout the region where access and stability are limited.
- Applications
- Dredging: Lakes, canals, lagoons, ponds, rivers, and waterways
- Mining:Process ponds, tailings ponds, and heavy metal recovery
- Wastewater: Sedimentation ponds, settling tanks, and digester tanks
- Energy: Power stations, oil refineries, and fly ash removal
- Industrial & Manufacturing: Chemical storage ponds and dewatering applications
- Agriculture: Lagoons, ponds, dams, canals, and desilting operations
Cable Deployed Dredge Pumps
Cable-deployed dredge pumps from EDDY Pump are designed for deep, narrow, or otherwise restricted environments where excavators and barges cannot operate. These systems are ideal for reservoirs, intake structures, and industrial basins requiring vertical access.
Available as cable-deployed hydraulic dredge pumps or cable-deployed electric dredge pumps, these units deliver reliable performance with minimal setup. Their ability to operate in tight conditions makes them a valuable asset for industrial dredging equipment in Tennessee applications and long-term sediment management programs.

Diver-Operated Dredge Pumps
For precision underwater work, EDDY Pump Diver-Operated Dredge Pumps provide unmatched control and flexibility. These systems are commonly used for intake cleaning, pipeline exposure, marina maintenance, and targeted sediment removal around structures.
Offered as diver-operated hydraulic dredge pumps or diver-operated electric dredge pumps, these submersible diver-operated pumps allow crews to remove material exactly where needed without over-dredging. They are particularly effective in environmentally sensitive zones and confined underwater spaces.

Self-Priming Slurry Pumps
The EDDY Pump Self-Priming Slurry Pumps are built for high-volume, abrasive slurry handling where suction lift and continuous operation are required. These self-priming dredge pumps eliminate manual priming, reducing setup time and improving operational efficiency.
Used across industrial, municipal, and construction sites, these self-priming pump systems are available in diesel or electric configurations. They are frequently paired with long pipelines for remote sediment transport and are a core component of many dredging equipment in Tennessee deployments.
