Dredging equipment

We build, modify and upgrade hydraulic dredgers all over the world. Our specialised dredging equipment onboard of these dredgers delivers a range of benefits to our customers worldwide, including higher productivity, reduced operating costs, optimum efficiency and minimal downtime.

Dredge pumps

The cost-effectiveness of dredging depends on the performance of the dredge pumps.

Cutter heads

We have a full range of cutter heads available: from a small cutter head for soft soils to the largest cutter head to be used with rock applications.

Drag heads

As the first point of contact with the soil a drag head is of vital importance to the entire dredging process.

Dredge system for hopper dredgers

With our dredge system, your TSHD becomes a highly productive dredger.

Dredge valves

The transport of dredge mixtures constantly calls upon reliable and effective flow control. Dredge valves are key components in this mixture transport.

Onboard dredge lines

Dredging lines on board are an important part of the transport process: they feed and unload the mixture in and out of the dredger.

Floating hoses

Floating hoses are an important part of the discharge process for dredging or mining. We offer high performance floating hoses for slurry transport to the shore.

Overflow systems

Our overflow systems optimise the efficiency of the dredging process in a more sustainable way.

Integrated and connected automation

Enhance your fleet's capabilities with our automation solutions that enable safe, sustainable and efficient dredging operations.

Integrated dredging solutions

From vessel to dredger, we offer integrated and tailor-made packages of dredging equipment for optimal dredge performance. Our support consists of designing, manufacturing and building a dredge system for your vessel. Together we create a dredging vessel that suits your dredging projects.

The right equipment for all your dredging challenges

Dredging, whether with a CSD or a TSHD, involves extreme exposure to erosion and causes much of component wear. We have decades of experience addressing the threat of erosion with a range of wear-resistant materials. All dredging equipment in our dredge systems is specially designed to withstand the forces of erosion and corrosion.

Our innovations in dredging equipment

At Royal IHC dredging, we understand that in challenging dredging environments, having access to the best equipment and the latest technology is vital. Our drive to constantly look for better solutions, as well as new and improved products, ensures that we are able to deliver the best option for any project. Read about our latest innovations:

Gate valves: how to redefine an industry standard

"What we discovered was that the easiest way to save space was to take off the hydraulic cylinder – from the top of the valve – and put it in front, thereby lowering the height (by approximately 30%)."
