Harbour, Beach and River Dredging

Sustainable dredging is key to the conservation of maritime and river infrastructures, ensuring the expansion of draughts, the protection of ecosystems and safe navigation. At Nautilus Dragados España, we offer specialised solutions in the dredging of ports, beaches and rivers, applying advanced techniques to minimise the environmental impact of dredging and guarantee the efficient management of marine and river sediments.

The maintenance of commercial, industrial and marina harbours is essential for the operation of maritime traffic. Our services include:

• • • Maintenance dredging in ports to ensure the depth of navigation channels.
    • Dredging of quays and docks to improve safety and port operations.
    • Dredging of the seabed in port infrastructures for the recovery of draughts.
    • Sediment management in ports using sustainable and environmentally friendly techniques.
    • Cleaning of harbour bottoms for the removal of polluting waste and sludge.

We work in Mediterranean and Atlantic ports, applying efficient solutions to reduce the environmental impact of port dredging.

Dredging in coastal areas is essential for the protection and restoration of beaches, as well as for the preservation of marine ecosystems. Our actions include:

• • • Restoration of marine environments by relocation of natural sediments.
    • Coastal stabilisation through dredging, reducing the impact of erosion.
    • Recovery of sand and regeneration of beaches, maintaining the natural balance of the coast.
    • Management of marine litter to prevent coastal pollution.

On the Andalusian and Mediterranean coast, we apply advanced sustainable dredging techniques to conserve coastal ecosystems and ensure the protection of tourist and residential infrastructures.

River channel dredging is key to preventing flooding and improving water quality in rivers. Our services include:

• • • Dredging of rivers and estuaries to remove accumulated sediments and improve water flow.
    • Cleaning of sediments in rivers, guaranteeing a safe and stable flow.
    • Sustainable dredging of river channels for the conservation of the ecosystem.
    • Erosion and sedimentation control, reducing the environmental impact on riparian areas.
    • Sediment management in dredging and rivers to avoid degradation of natural watercourses.

Our experience in river restoration in Spain allows us to offer innovative and effective solutions for the maintenance and conservation of navigable rivers.

At Nautilus Dragados, we believe that every journey towards sustainability begins in the water. Our dredging services are more than just an intervention; they are a commitment to the future of our ecosystems. With a focus on restoration, we strive to restore rivers, harbours and beaches to their original splendour, creating a positive impact on both the environment and the lives of the people who depend on these spaces.

The biological diversity present in our seas and rivers is a priceless treasure that we must protect. In this respect, our advanced technology plays a key role. With innovative and less invasive methods, we minimise the alteration of aquatic habitats, ensuring the preservation of native species and promoting a natural balance.

Every dredging project we undertake is an opportunity to learn and adapt. We collaborate closely with environmental experts, ensuring that our processes are not only effective, but also align with conservation best practices. We implement customised solutions that respond to each client’s specific needs, proactively addressing the challenges of pollution and erosion.

In addition to our technical interventions, at Nautilus Dragados we understand the importance of environmental education and awareness. That is why we work to involve local communities in our projects, fostering a sense of collective responsibility towards our ecosystems. We believe that every citizen can be an agent of change, and our mission is to facilitate that transformation.

As we advance in our efforts, we reaffirm our commitment to a cleaner and more sustainable future. We travel along riverbeds, navigate reservoirs, and restore the beaches that are part of our natural heritage. At Dragados Nautilus, we don’t just clean the water; we cultivate a legacy of respect and love for the spaces around us. With each dredging, each action, we build a path toward a tomorrow where environmental care is the norm, not the exception. Together, let’s make waves toward a bright future.
