End to End Solids Management

With the acquisition of WaterSolve, Solution Group brings dewatering, dredging, lagoon cleanout, and environmental remediation in house. Whether accumulated solids are eating your capacity or your hauling bill keeps climbing, our crews, equipment, and chemistry now handle that too, on the same site we already operate.

Solids Capabilities

Tested First, Then Mobilized

WaterSolve bench-tests your actual material and runs a feasibility study before anyone commits to an approach. Jar testing, residual polymer, metals and contaminant removal, aquatic toxicity, and treatability studies all happen in house, which is why the cost is known going in rather than discovered mid-project.

Geotextile Tube Dewatering: Bulk sludge and sediment volume reduction with no permanent capital equipment on site.
Hydraulic Dredging & Sludge Removal: Our own dredges and crews for lagoons, basins, ponds, and impoundments.
Lagoon Management: Sonar sludge profiling, surveys, capping, and cleanout planning based on what is actually in the basin.
Environmental Remediation: Contaminated sediment, metals precipitation, subaqueous capping, pond closure and decommissioning.
Treatment Chemistry & Equipment: Polymers, coagulants, metal precipitants, and automated or static feed systems to rent or buy.
Shoreline & Erosion Control: Engineered structures for marine, shoreline, and embankment protection.

One partner for the project and the plant, so nothing falls between vendors.

Why Bring Us In

Nationally Recognized

Founded in 1999 and recognized nationally as a leader in geotextile tube dewatering.

Turnkey Scope

Survey, design, chemistry, crews, and equipment under one scope, from mobilization to demobilization.

Plant Stays Running

Work is sequenced around your operation, with filtrate returned and only dry solids hauled off.

One Accountable Partner

The same team that operates your system handles the solids project, backed by OptiClear reporting.

Recent Projects

INDUSTRIAL · ILLINOIS

Refinery lagoon sludge dredged into Geotube containers

Centrifuge dewatering was too slow and solids were backing up as the lagoon neared capacity. Keeping the dredge running daily cleared years of accumulated solids and restored flow.

MUNICIPAL · CALIFORNIA

Multiple municipal lagoons cleaned to restore infiltration

A hydraulic dredge moved sludge into geotextile tubes while an automatic make-down unit conditioned the slurry on site, giving rapid dewatering and clear filtrate.

POWER & UTILITIES · KENTUCKY

Ash pond decommissioning at 1,500 gallons per minute

A high-rate solids-removal pretreatment system protected the onsite wastewater plant as pond levels dropped, keeping closure on schedule.

Start With a Sludge Survey

Tell us the site, the impoundment, and what is in the material. We will profile the depth, bench-test the sludge, and come back with a scope and a number.
