Siltnova is a floating structural system designed for the intelligent and continuous management of sediments in water basins, hydroelectric reservoirs and artificial lakes.
The system allows the controlled removal of sludge, lime, sand and coarse material from the seabed without the need to empty the basin, avoiding plant and invasive interventions on existing infrastructures.
Siltnova integrates an automated floating platform with a high depth dredging system.
Starting from a batimetric mapping of the bottom, the system autonomously plans the routes of intervention and manages the extraction operations in a progressive and controlled way.
Removed sediments may be re-entered downstream of the barrier, after checking turbidity and grain size, or conveyed to dedicated collection areas.
This approach gradually restores the natural solid transport of water streams, contributing to the biological continuity between mountain and valley and reducing the overall environmental impact of the infrastructure.

The system operates automatically and programmed, without the need for constant supervision by operators
Dredging pumps remove fine sediments and coarse material directly from the bottom, keeping under control the operating conditions of the basin
The sediments are managed according to the characteristics of the site and the regulatory constraints, with possible release controlled downstream or dedicated collection.
Advanced sensors monitor turbidity and particle size in real time, modulating operations to ensure compliance with normal limits and protection of hydraulic turbines.
Underwater agitators and hydrojets keep sediments in suspension, reducing the formation of new deposits and stabilizing the balance of the basin over time.

The adoption of Siltnova transforms the management of sediments from extraordinary and discontinuous intervention to ordinary, planable and controlled process.

The operations are carried out without significant emptying and interruption of hydroelectric production or use of the basin.
The controlled release of sediments in their natural course, where permitted, eliminates or drastically reduces the costs of transport and landfilling.
The progressive removal of sediments preserves the volume of invading available for energy production, irrigation or hydropotable use.
The absence of massive svasis and mechanical dredging reduces turbidity, habitat disturbance and uncontrolled release of material downstream.
The system is sized according to the specific characteristics of the invading, such as depth, type of sediment, pelvis geometry and operating constraints.
