Some of our recent major stormwater pond renewal projects include Akoranga, Alnwick, Pukekura Park, Link Drive, and 770 Great South Road stormwater ponds.
Silt & Sediment Removal
Glasgow Contractors’ unique dredging methodology combines our amphibious Truxor dredges, floating excavators, advanced dewatering technology and experienced operators to efficiently remove sediment from stormwater ponds, wetlands, streams, channels and other essential waterways.
Unlike conventional excavation methods, our approach minimises environmental disturbance while providing access to hard-to-reach areas year-round. Through on-site dewatering, we significantly reduce the volume of material requiring transport and disposal, lowering project costs, reducing truck movements and, where suitable, enabling beneficial reuse of sediment on site.
We work alongside specialist ecologists to undertake fish surveys, native fish relocation and implement environmental controls before work begins, ensuring the protection of aquatic habitats throughout the project.
By restoring pond capacity, improving water quality and extending asset life, Glasgow Contractors provides a cost-effective, environmentally responsible, solution for stormwater pond maintenance, dredging and sediment removal.
Aquatic Vegetation Removal
Glasgow Contractors’ amphibious Truxor machines are equipped with specialised cutting, raking, harvesting, pumping and excavation attachments to efficiently remove pond weed, aquatic vegetation, algae and pollutants from stormwater ponds, lakes, wetlands and waterways. This improves water flow, enhances water quality, restores asset performance and helps maintain healthy aquatic ecosystems with minimal environmental disturbance.
Pond Renewal
In addition to restoring pond capacity and performance, Glasgow Contractors also specialises in stormwater pond renewal and enhancement works that improve asset performance, resilience and longevity. Our services include upgrading pond inlets, outlets and stormwater connections, as well as constructing and repairing forebays, spillways, bunds, erosion protection and rock armouring.
