Functions

Designed and built in Quebec, the Amphibex is suitable for a wide range of tasks in all types of bodies of water :

- Cleaning and restoring contaminated waterways
- Installing water pipes, pipelines and submarine cables
- Cleaning wastewater treatment ponds
- Preventing and breaking up ice jams
- Controlling vegetation
- Developing peat lands
- Creating wildlife habitats

Dredging

The Amphibex is a highly effective tool for dredging operations. Its mobility on land and water, its anchoring and stabilizing equipment, and its accessories (articulated arm, bucket, disintegrator-pump bucket and rake) give it a clear edge over traditional dredgers.

Waterside Operations

The Amphibex excels at riverside operations. It can handle a wide variety of jobs (pipe installation, bank cleaning, vegetation control) causing minimal disruption in environments where the use of traditional excavators would result in devastation.

Breaking Up Ice Jams

The Amphibex is highly effective for breaking up ice jams. It can also be used to help prevent them. In most cases, employing the Amphibex will make it unnecessary to use dynamite, which can harm the environment. The Amphibex can break up ice using a number of methods. The picture shows the Amphibex hoisting itself onto the ice cover using its bucket and the ice giving way under the machine's weight.
