Products and services

• SediMover A fully automatic, electrically driven sediment transfer device for large water bodies. Operating depth 0.5–25 m, sediment transfer capacity up to 200 m³/h, transfer distance up to 1,000 m (extendable), transportable in a 20' container. Sold, rented, or operated by SedimentWorks for reservoir and dam operators.
• MiniMover A compact sediment transfer device for small water bodies. Electric drive with automatic or manual operation, operating depth up to 50 m, transfer capacity up to 105 m³/h, transportable on a platform trailer and usable in confined spaces. Available for sale or rental.
• Sediment Sampling & Analysis Professional sediment sample collection and analysis for standing and flowing waters, performed according to standards such as DIN EN ISO 5667-12, with GPS documentation and transport to accredited environmental laboratories. For reservoir operators, port authorities and environmental planners.
• Water Body Measurements (Hydrographic Surveying) Professional hydrographic surveys of rivers, lakes, canals and port areas using echo sounding, cross- and longitudinal profiles, sediment transport monitoring, volume calculations, and 3D digital terrain models (DGM). For water authorities and infrastructure planners.
• Studies & Risk Analyses Comprehensive studies and risk analyses for surface waters and sediments including site analyses, sedimentological investigations (grain distribution, TOC, solid/water content), chemical analytics, ecological and chemical water quality assessment per EU Water Framework Directive, morphological analysis, and remediation planning.
• Sediment Transfer Operations (Sedimentumlagerung) Patented continuous and controlled sediment transfer around barrage facilities to restore sediment permeability of flowing waters. Delivered as a full-service operation by d-sediment using SediMover/MiniMover, compliant with the EU Water Framework Directive, ecologically compatible, and operationally safe.
• Licensing of Patented Sediment Transfer Procedure Licensing of d-sediment's internationally protected patented sediment transfer procedure (ConSedTrans/SediMover). Unlicensed use of the procedure carries a fee of €30 per tonne of transferred sediment in storage condition. Available for third parties to operate under license.

Direct peers

• Hülskens Sediments GmbH: German sediment management specialist offering industrial-scale sediment handling services and equipment; direct technical cooperation partner of d-sediment and co-winner of the Guardians of the Reservoir Challenge. Comparable across products, customers (hydro/water authorities), and geography.
• Stellba Hydro: German hydro-engineering firm providing technical solutions for dams, hydropower, and water infrastructure; listed technical cooperation partner of d-sediment. Overlaps in customer base (hydropower/water authorities) and complementary equipment offerings.

Broad incumbents

• Royal IHC: Large Dutch dredging and marine equipment OEM with full-spectrum dredge manufacturing. Overlaps with d-sediment in sediment-handling equipment for waterway/reservoir projects but operates at significantly larger scale with a much broader product range.
• Damen Dredging Equipment: Dutch manufacturer of standard and custom dredgers for harbors, rivers, and reservoirs. Competes with SediMover/MiniMover in sediment removal equipment and serves overlapping public-sector water infrastructure customers.
• Jan De Nul Group: Large Belgian dredging and marine contractor executing capital and maintenance dredging worldwide. Competes for the same reservoir/waterway sediment management budgets as d-sediment, but with conventional dredging methodologies.
• Boskalis (Royal Boskalis Westminster): Global dredging and maritime services major active in harbor deepening, land reclamation, and reservoir/sediment management. Overlaps with d-sediment in sediment-related services for ports and waterways, especially in Europe.

Emerging players

• Ellicott Dredges: US-based dredge manufacturer producing portable and custom dredging equipment for inland waterways, reservoirs, and environmental projects. Comparable in targeting sediment management in inland water bodies, though using conventional dredging technology.
• DSC Dredge: US dredge equipment manufacturer focused on environmental dredging for waterways, reservoirs, and contaminated sediments. Targets a similar niche customer profile (US Army Corps of Engineers, water utilities) but with traditional dredging rather than continuous sediment transfer.
• Seatools: Dutch subsea and dredging tooling specialist developing custom sediment-handling and subsea equipment. Comparable as a niche equipment innovator serving the dredging/water infrastructure market, though with broader subsea focus.

Others

• Tetra Tech: Large global consulting and engineering firm with a strong water, environment, and dredged material management practice serving regulators and water authorities. Comparable in consulting/study services and regulatory expertise supporting sediment remediation projects.
