DRAGGING

We offer an innovative alternative to traditional dredging with our advanced underwater robots. More agile and capable of reaching depths inaccessible to conventional methods, our robots eliminate the usual constraints for operators.

By offering a more efficient and less invasive solution, we are proposing a new alternative for sediment management in hydroelectric infrastructures.

Our cleaning solutions reduce costs and minimize environmental impact, while guaranteeing optimum performance and enhanced safety on the worksite.

Thanks to an innovation partnership with EDF, we have been able to develop the underwater robots NESSIE and LISIE. Specifically designed to meet the requirements of sediment management in hydroelectric reservoirs, these robots offer customized, high-performance solutions tailored to the needs of these infrastructures.

Our underwater dredging services are mainly aimed at hydropower producers for the maintenance of their dams and reservoirs.

Our operations guarantee the safety of our facilities by releasing safety devices such as bottom valves.

Clearing water intakes and restoring storage capacity in reservoirs helps optimize performance , particularly at pumped-storage power stations (STEP).

DECONTAMINATION OF POLLUTED SITES

Some of our underwater dredging robots are specially designed to operate effectively in confined environments, where traditional methods are often unsuitable, too intrusive or present high human risks.

Thanks to their small size, great agility and ability to maneuver with precision, our robots are perfectly suited to cleaning operations in wastewater treatment plants, where space is limited and infrastructures are sensitive.

In ports, we use our robots to treat polluted areas, intervening precisely under quays, between piers or close to ships, without disrupting port activities.

Their ability to work at various depths and in difficult conditions enables us to remove contaminated sediments while minimizing the risk of dispersing pollutants.

Under existing structures, such as bridges or civil engineering works, our dredging robots offer a safe and controlled solution. Their low environmental footprint enables us to preserve the integrity of surrounding ecosystems while guaranteeing effective clean-up.

Thanks to their versatility and ability to adapt to specific conditions, our robots ensure precise, safe and environmentally-friendly cleaning, even in the most complex environments.

We also have a 50-ton underwater excavator, ANAÏS, a truly versatile tool carrier designed to handle a wide range of complex underwater jobs.

Capable of operating at great depths, this excavator enables us to carry out rock breaking operations, essential for breaking and removing rocks underwater.

This type of intervention is often necessary to prepare underwater land for infrastructures such as dykes or port structures.

Our underwater excavator is also suitable for digging trenches, which are crucial for the construction of dyke foundations. These precise excavations guarantee the stability and solidity of dikes, playing a fundamental role in flood protection and coastal development.

In addition, we use this equipment for the beaming of tubes and sheaths, a key operation for protecting submarine cables. This includes the connection cables for offshore wind turbines, which require durable protection against erosion, shocks and sea currents, particularly in tidal areas.

Thanks to ANAÏS, we can ensure reliable, long-term installation of these marine infrastructures, thus supporting the development of renewable energies.

OTHER UNDERWATER WORK

Thanks to our experience and capacity for innovation, we at Watertracks are able to design and develop new robots to respond to specific problems requiring underwater intervention.

Faced with emerging challenges such as the decontamination of polluted areas or the removal of submerged munitions, we have the capacity to create appropriate technological solutions, guaranteeing safety and efficiency.

Our underwater robots can be equipped with specialized tools to handle, extract or neutralize hazardous objects underwater, while minimizing risks to the environment and operators.

In addition, we can develop systems dedicated to the dismantling of subsea pipelines, ensuring precision work under difficult conditions.

Whether for aging infrastructures or modernization operations, our robotic solutions offer a safe, environmentally-friendly alternative.

This innovative approach provides concrete, tailor-made solutions to the growing needs of the energy and environment sectors.

Our underwater robot dredging services are available throughout France, with increasing export deployment to neighboring countries.

We are ready to expand our activities internationally by working with local partners.
