I am the owner of Piedmont Irrigation and Land Development Co. in Watkinsville, GA. We are expanding into pond and lake dredging using a Dino 6 hydraulic dredge. We are focusing on the golf and park industries because my partner an I have a combined 40+ years of experience in the golf course construction and maintenance industry. We understand the importance of preserving the golf course condition, not interrupting play, and the infrastructure of the irrigation pump stations and drainage systems on golf courses. I have been researching a way to get an underwater map of what the sediment plumes look like in ponds. This would help me with cubic yard estimation as well as presenting the owner with before and after dredge pictures or maps of the work done. The yellow remote control “boat” is what I have been envisioning as the ultimate survey tool. I am sure the cost of even leasing that equipment would be hefty. Can you enlighten me on the cost of buying and leasing this equipment? What other equipment or programs would be necessary for the compilation of the data to make a map of the pond or lake bottom? What else should I know about this service and equipment?
