Drainage work
The Amphibex AE400E is a very effective device for drainage operations. Its mobility on land and water, anchorage and stabilization equipment, added to its wide range of interchangeable accessories (bucket chipper, bucket pump, conventional bucket, rake and side discharge spout) give it a distinct advantage over traditional drainage machinery.
Flood prevention and ice breaking
The Amphibex AE400E is a world calss ice breaker and is used in many places for flood control. In the majority of cases, the use of the Amphibex AE400E makes it possible to avoid using explosives which can be detrimental to the environment. Several techniques can be used to break ice.

Shore line interventions
The Amphibex AE400E differentiates itself through its shore line work. Able to accomplish a large wide variety of operations (pipe installation, cleaning of the banks or vegetation control), it involves only minor disturbances where the use of traditional general purpose excavators would have created severe damage.
