  Engineered for the Toughest Jobs on Water:

Why Pros Choose VMI Horizontal Dredges

You don’t buy a VMI dredge to test it. You buy it to get the job done.

When the job is real, when sludge is deep, basin walls are tight, and downtime costs money professionals turn to VMI Dredges. Our horizontal dredging systems aren’t theoretical. They’re field-proven, operator-designed, and purpose-built to perform where it matters most.

From restoring capacity in wastewater lagoons to cleaning industrial ponds and removing sediment in environmentally sensitive zones, VMI dredging equipment delivers precision, power, and long-term performance.

Designed for Real-World Demands

Every VMI horizontal dredge is engineered to operate where traditional dredging equipment stalls. Lined impoundments, shallow retention basins, or limited-access sites this is where we excel.

Purpose-Driven Components – Designed for efficient solids removal and minimal turbidity.

Compact Power – Heavy-duty dredging performance in space-constrained environments.

Operator-Centric Controls – Intuitive operation from shore or barge.

Smart Setup – Fast deployment, low manpower, rapid results.

You’re not just removing sludge. You’re reclaiming volume, improving flow, and restoring system integrity. VMI gives you the tools to do it right every time.

Applications Where We Lead

Wastewater Dredging

Maximize treatment performance without halting operations. VMI horizontal dredges perform low-turbidity, liner-safe sludge removal in active lagoons and clarifiers.

Industrial Sludge Removal

Handle abrasive or complex waste materials from tanks and holding ponds. VMI dredging systems provide safe, continuous solids removal without infrastructure damage.

Environmental Sediment Removal

Target nutrient-rich or contaminated sediment with controlled, accurate dredging. Ideal for ecosystem restoration, nutrient reduction, and regulated remediation projects.

American Made. Proven in the Field.

Every dredger, pump, and pipeline system from VMI is built in the USA and tested under real-world site conditions. Our equipment is engineered to last.

We don’t sell concepts. We deliver results.
