Specialty Restoration

Here are some samples of OSR Systems’ unique ability to remove sediments from hard to reach places.

Cisterns and Pump Stations



These three, massive, 48-inch pump stations deliver water from the reservoir to a river on the other side to prevent flooding.	OSR Systems easily removed 8 feet of sediment from this pump station.	Removing sediment from irrigation systems - a tight fit.	Removing sediment from the intake inlet and replacing intake screens in the reservoir.

Enviromental Clean-Ups



These plinking ponds on a gun range were full of lead shot. EPA and DNR insisted they be removed from the sediments.	Removed sediments from the pond while separating the shot from the sediments.	How we did this can not be shown.

Stream Restoration



This 1.5 mile, Class-A trout stream received foreign sands and material from a failed construction project up-stream.	OSR System’s light and portable system was able to maneuver around dense heavy foliage. Removed foreign spoils, sands, and leave the gravel for fish to spawn.	See Video: “Crystal Brook”	Under large culverts - hands on to prevent digging up the road.

Water Features / Waterfall Ponds - Q Center



Sediment removal in sensitive areas and no damage to the liner.	Easy in and out in pristine landscape areas	Very challenging	See Video: “Q Center”

Water Features / Waterfall Ponds - Historic Mill



Historical Site: Mill was converted to the first electric power plant. Carefully removing sediments from water chase.	Chase by Chase.	We were able to remove of two feet of mixed sediments.	We were also able to get down to the original rock bottom.

Water Features / Waterfall Ponds - Fort Lauderdale Park



Fort Lauderdale Park, 800’ x 10’ channel was impassible for canoes after hurricane Erma deposited 4 feet of material. Researching contractors, OSR Systems was the only company who submitted a bid.	The 4 foot plus thick sediment mass removed.	Sediments removed down to a sand bottom.	Easily passable. Park District was very impressed.
