Keep Industrial and Manufacturing Operations Flowing in Texas with Proven Dredging Solutions
Sediment removal, waste lagoon maintenance, and slurry management for plants, mills, and heavy industrial sites.
Lone Star Dredge Services delivers rugged, high-performance dredging systems tailored for industrial and manufacturing environments. From processing plant byproduct ponds to sediment-choked outfalls and containment basins, our solutions support efficient waste handling, minimize downtime, and help facilities meet environmental standards. Whether you operate a paper mill, food processing plant, chemical facility, or foundry, we offer scalable dredging services that integrate seamlessly into your operations.
Key Challenges in Industrial & Manufacturing
Sludge and Byproduct Accumulation
Process water ponds, clarifiers, and holding basins accumulate heavy, abrasive sludge that requires high-solids handling and clog-resistant pumping.
Regulatory Compliance
Facilities must adhere to strict discharge, containment, and NPDES requirements for sediment, sludge, and wastewater.
Limited Operational Disruption
Downtime equals lost production—dredging solutions must be fast, reliable, and non-invasive to operations.
Hazardous and Viscous Materials
Industrial waste often includes corrosive, high-density, or chemically active materials not suitable for conventional dredging systems.
Our Solutions
We help industrial facilities maintain efficient, clean, and compliant operations with specialized dredging services for sludge, slurry, and water management systems.
Specialized Dredging Services
