Specialists in:

• Aquatic weed harvesting
• Dredging and silt pumping
• Trash and flotsam removal
• Ongoing waterway and reed bed management

Covering the whole of the UK, at Aquaclear, we specialise in the mechanical harvesting of aquatic vegetation from inland waterways, canals and lakes, and the cutting and removal of reed growth from natural or manmade reed beds and wetland habitats.

Many water management officials agree that regular aquatic plant harvesting is the best method available to control excessive plant growth without damaging the environment. Removing the cut vegetation reduces silt build up and helps sustain water depth. Continuous harvesting effectively opens up and maintains a waterway for transportation, recreation and wildlife.

Aquaclear use harvesters specifically designed for this purpose and can provide you with a complete year round contracting service.   

We are pre-qualified on the Achilles Utilities Vendor Database (UVDB), supplier registration number 87572.

Our lightweight amphibious harvesters enable easy access to waterways without the need for expensive lifting equipment or transportation costs.  Their excellent weight distribution makes them ideal for working in sensitive areas where the integrity of banks or surrounding area is important.

With a wide range of attachments and accessories our machines can be used for light excavation work and silt pumping, as well as for the removal of aquatic vegetation, trash and flotsam.

Harvesting machines from Aquaclear ...removed a huge amount of weeds from the lake ..  Everyone has been very impressed by the results.

This is our first trial with the (harvesting) machine and it's allowing us to get into the wetter areas. These are areas that would either remain uncut or we would have to lower the water level considerably in order to gain access.

It's advantages are that it can drive itself to site and launch itself, and it can climb on to banks.

In order to maintain perfect habitat conditions ...for many wetland birds ...we have to keep cutting the reeds ...as you can imagine this is pretty hard work and we usually do everything by hand. This (harvesting) machine is capable of travelling through the water, cutting the reeds and raking them up behind, so it will save us hours of work.
