SedimentWorks GmbH is your expert partner in sediment management. With innovative, sustainable, and cost-efficient solutions, we ensure the long-term preservation of valuable reservoirs and other water bodies. Whether for hydropower plants, drinking water supply, or flood protection – our modern technologies and tailored concepts enable effective management and optimize the use of these essential water resources. Our goal is to combine ecological sustainability with economic efficiency, making a significant contribution to the protection and utilization of natural water reserves.

Dams and other barriers disrupt the continuity of flowing waters, interfering with the natural sediment balance. As a result, nearly every reservoir is affected by sedimentation over time. In downstream areas, however, sediment is missing, and the resulting scour can threaten the stability of hydraulic and adjacent structures. Many reservoirs are already facing severe sedimentation issues, leading to partial or even complete siltation. Even operational facilities often experience functional limitations due to sediment accumulation.

Sedimentation is a gradual process, but it can suddenly become a critical issue, leading to significant operational constraints. The earlier sedimentation problems are addressed, the easier and more cost-effective the solution tends to be, providing greater flexibility in management.

SedimentWorks delivers simple, environmentally friendly, sustainable, and highly economical solutions for hydropower, drinking water supply, flood protection, and irrigation systems. Our system effectively addresses sediment-related challenges both upstream and downstream of barriers. The patented method for continuous sediment transfer, restoring sediment continuity in accordance with the EU Water Framework Directive (EUWFD), is legally protected in multiple countries.

Our core competencies lie in consulting, research, and solution development in the field of sediment management. With our in-house expertise and independent specialists, we offer a broad and competent advisory service, assisting in feasibility studies and the development of customized solutions.
