Intelligent Dredging with GPS Lake Mapping

Save Significant Money on Dredging Projects!

Integrated Lakes Management (ILM) recently completed a mapping project for a Chicago metro homeowners association.  The purpose of this project involved sediment monitoring for future dredging.  In order to avoid large costs and help property managers budget for sediment removal, ILM located the high priority areas of sediment accumulation and determined the need and location for dredging.  The mapping techniques utilized in this project helps ILM accurately calculate in-situ sediment volume and accumulation over time.  Thus, ILM is able to accurately isolate areas of high sedimentation for removal and help property managers budget accordingly.  This powerful information allows for smart management decisions and will save thousands of dollars in the future.
