Desilting Testimonials

Testimonials from some of our Customers

A small sample of testimonials received from some of our customers over many years in the Dredging and Desilting industry.

Broads Authority Trial

We were contracted to do a trial to provide the Broads Authority with evidence of our ability to dredge from one location and use our pumping system to deposit the silt at a location several hundred yards away. Click on Read More to see a video of our pumping system at work.  Watch the video

Moat Desilting

Having watched the silt get deeper and deeper in our moat over a period of about 20 years I finally contacted Peter Jex in 2011. Peter came out and gave us some preliminary ideas and suggestions. I was attracted by his proposal to pump the silt from the moat and spread it evenly in a nearby wood. [Read More]

Sibelco slurry lagoon clearence

As a large Industrial Minerals company we create solids as a by product of sand washing. The solids generated from our process settles into lagoons which from time to time, require cleaning out.

Previously Sibelco has used long reach machines which can be very messy as slurries have high water content and low solids.
Four years ago Jex Plant was working at our Kings Lynn site and he indicated that he could pump slurry out our lagoons using a novel system he had developed. [Read more]

King’s Lynn Golf Club

Jex Plant were chosen from a number of companies who had quoted to carry out ground work to extend and deepen our irrigation pond.

They were very mindful of our operations and at no time impeded our work programmes. Their staff were polite and hard working. All work was carried out to our specifications and to a very high standard. [Read more]

Crawley Mariners Yatch Club

I am pleased to be able to say that we are most satisfied with the way the work was carried out – the team worked well with us to ensure that it went smoothly overall. The final cost gave good value when compared to other quotes we had received. We were particularly pleased that your method of removal did result in all of the material being accommodated in the area that we had available. [Read more]

Moat Desilting

We have recently used this team to clear, pump out and de-silt a moat/watercourse round our property. The location and immediate environment presented difficulties of access for heavy machinery (eg JCB) and silt pumping seemed to afford the least damaging option .

They first came with equipment and an inflatable and made a comprehensive survey on which they based charges. [Read more]

Chobham Pond Desilting

Now the work on our pond is successfully completed, we wanted to thank you properly for your help.    You have transformed an ugly sludge-filled, mosquito ridden eyesore into a water feature which, once it is planted up, will be a real asset to our gardens.

Already we can see the difference you have made to the outlook from the house over the pond and the weir. [Read more]

Scarning Pond Desilting

We would like to thank you and your team of enthusiastic of men who battled on despite the horrendous weather at the end of January. We are very pleased with the result and  the way it was executed are looking forward to seeing it full of clear, weed free water. [Read more]

Aggregate Induststries Mepal Quarry

Historically speaking, movement of silt from the lagoons would normally be carried out by way of load and haul practices. Mobile plant requirements for such an operation are Excavator and three articulated dumpers. Using load and haul techniques for silt movement has in the past raised cost, environmental and safety issues and as such a new approach was sought. [Read more]
