Info

Knoop Natuur- en Waterbouw is a dredging company specialized in nature restoration projects in wetlands.

Geschiedenis

Machinery was developed in-house that lends itself extremely well to working in poor load-bearing terrains, such as deltas and wetlands. The combination consisting of the Waterking amphibious excavator and the shredder pontoon makes us unique in the world. The amphibious excavators can operate not only on land but also on water. Our work starts where most excavators stop.

Using the shredder pontoon we are able to transport any released material (such as reed roots and cuttings) to a disposal site with the aid of a pressure pipeline. The material can even be pumped over a distance of 7 kilometres. We are contracted to perform work for, among others, nature conservation authorities and water boards. In addition to contracting, we have a dredging equipment rental and sales department.
