Temporary Pond Building for Dewatering
At Dredge Pennsylvania, we go beyond equipment. Our team designs and builds temporary dewatering ponds that support efficient pond sediment removal and slurry handling. These engineered basins provide the flexibility and control needed to manage water flow, settle solids, and improve overall dredging performance, without requiring permanent infrastructure.
Whether you’re planning a small-scale pond restoration dredging project or managing large industrial sediment volumes, our temporary ponds offer a practical, cost-effective way to streamline dewatering and stay compliant with environmental regulations.

Comprehensive Water Treatment Services in Pennsylvania
At Dredge Pennsylvania, we offer advanced water treatment services in Pennsylvania, specifically designed to support dredging, dewatering, and sediment remediation operations. Our solutions are engineered to remove contaminants, protect the environment, and meet or exceed state and federal discharge standards.
Using a multi-stage treatment process, we offer both industrial water treatment and commercial water treatment solutions that can be tailored to your site conditions, project scale, and regulatory requirements. Whether you’re handling stormwater, dredge return water, or contaminated industrial runoff, we deliver clean, safe, and compliant results every time.
Pre-Treatment and Debris Removal
We begin with mechanical screening to eliminate large solids and debris. This essential first step protects pumps, filters, and downstream systems from clogging and premature wear.
- Reduces strain on treatment infrastructure
- Supports long-term system reliability
Coagulation and Flocculation
In this chemical treatment stage, we add coagulants to bind fine particles into larger flocs. Gentle mixing (flocculation) allows these flocs to settle more easily in later stages, improving the efficiency of wastewater treatment services across a range of sediment and water types.
Sedimentation
Water is directed to sedimentation tanks or clarifiers, where gravity causes heavier flocs to settle to the bottom. The resulting sludge is captured for off-site disposal or further dewatering, while clarified water proceeds to filtration.
- Crucial step for effective sediment removal
- Prepares water for fine particle filtration
Advanced Filtration
Our high-capacity filters remove residual solids using media such as sand, gravel, or advanced membranes. This ensures particulate-free water, ready for polishing or disinfection.
- Applied in both industrial and commercial water treatment
- Removes turbidity and suspended solids to meet discharge standards
Oxidation and Disinfection (AOPs)
Utilizing eco-friendly water treatment methods, such as ozone, hydrogen peroxide, and UV light, we effectively eliminate pathogens and break down dissolved organic matter. These advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are especially effective for sites with legacy pollution or biological contaminants.
- Safe for sensitive ecosystems
- Non-chemical alternatives available
Activated Carbon Adsorption
We use activated carbon to remove organic residues, chemical by-products, and unwanted odors. This additional layer of treatment polishes the water, ensuring it’s clean, clear, and odor-free.
Final Disinfection
As the last step before discharge or reuse, water is treated with chlorine, UV, or other disinfectants to neutralize any remaining pathogens. This ensures the water meets all environmental and public health standards.
- Fully compliant with Pennsylvania DEP and EPA guidelines
- Safe for reuse, discharge, or return to aquatic environments
Real-Time Monitoring and Quality Control
Continuous monitoring, automated controls, and regular lab sampling back up our expert water treatment services. We track key water quality parameters to ensure consistent results and a fast response to any operational issues.
- Ensures regulatory compliance
- Provides complete transparency for stakeholders
