- The Sweepax hydraulic pumping system is the ideal pump for the de-silting of ponds and lakes. A recent project required silt to be removed and placed in a holding lagoon 600mtrs up a steep ravine some 60mtrs in height. The use of trucks to transport the silt was not acceptable due to the distance and also the steep route required to the holding lagoon. The only option was to Pump using the Sweepax unit and a second pump to boost the silt the full 600mtrs. Although the project took longer than anticipated due to the amount of silt, the cost and the lessened impact of not using heavy trucks, was a major environmental advantage, in what was a very sensitive location.
