Industry
Aquaculture
Ponds, dikes and channels. Soft ground, right next to the water.
What we do in this industry
This is the work where having the right machine shows most. Shrimp farm ground is soft and saturated, and a standard-track machine bogs down where a wide-track one keeps moving. The pond is excavated and that same material raises the dike, which has to be shaped and compacted to hold a head of water. We have done this work, and the photographs are from the site, not from a catalogue.
