Cutter Suction Dredgers
“Facts About Cutter Suction Dredgers” describes a type of hydraulic dredger that can dredge nearly all kinds of soils, especially hard ground and rock.
Choice of Type of Dredger
Choosing the appropriate dredger is determined by soil conditions, transport options, dredging location, water depths and placement, and economics.
Monitoring Equipment
Monitoring equipment provides ongoing data about the quality of soils, quantities of soil and depths being dredged and environmental issues.
Dredging Plant and Equipment
“Facts About Dredging Plant and Equipment” describes the specialised equipment that has been developed to perform various and specific dredging operations.
Backhoe Dredgers
“Facts About Backhoe Dredgers” describes how modern backhoes work to excavate a dredging site and when and where they are the appropriate equipment choice.
Auger dredgers
An auger dredger has an environmentally sound cutting tool that lies horizontally on the seabed, working precisely to loosen thin layers of sediment.
Water Injection Dredgers
A water injection dredger injects large volumes of water into the waterbed, fluidising the sediment so that it can flow naturally to other deeper areas.
