Why choose our dredge system for hopper dredgers?
Dredging is in our DNA. With more than a century of experience, we are your partner for reliable dredging equipment.
- Seamless integration
- Tailor-made for your dredging operation
- Lifecycle support
Seamless integration
Our team excels at seamlessly designing and selecting the appropriate components of the dredging system to ensure reliable performance with maximum uptime to maximise operational effectiveness.
We match the most suitable components in the dredge system to achieve the best synergy, optimising energy consumption and reducing wear while operating at high efficiency. This is how we ensure you get the most out of your dredge system and contribute to a sustainable way of working.
Tailor-made for your dredging operation
With our extensive knowledge and experience, we can tailor the perfect dredge system, fully customised to meet your specific needs and project requirements.
Lifecycle support
You can count on IHC Dredging for full lifecycle support from initial installation to ongoing maintenance. This includes the provision of spare parts and maintenance support to ensure uninterrupted operation.
Components of the dredge system
The dredging equipment in our dredge systems can be categorised into components for loading and unloading the hopper dredger, components for the proper flow in your dredge system and components for monitoring and control of your dredging operation.
Loading components
The components on board a Trailing Suction Hopper Dredger (TSHD) that ensure an efficient excavation and loading process:
Components to create the right flow
The components on board that create the hydraulic transport of the soil:
- Dredge pumps and jetwater pumps
- Gate valves
- Dredge lines (including onboard hoses)
Unloading components
A rapid and controlled discharge of soil is the key function of our unloading components. We offer several solutions, via the bottom, over the bow or via a shore connection:
- Bottom discharge systems
- Bow couplings
- Jet water monitors
Operating, monitoring and control components
Improve the efficiency of your dredging operations with our operating, monitoring and control solutions. Designed to meet the demands of modern dredging projects.
New build or refit: transform your dredging vessel into a high productivity TSHD
Whether you are expanding your dredging capabilities or upgrading your fleet, the integration of our state-of-the-art dredging technology will unlock the full potential of your dredging vessel, taking it to new heights of productivity and efficiency.
From barge to TSHD with our trail units
With our trail units you can easily convert a simple barge into a trailing suction hopper dredger (TSHD) or a stationary (hopper) dredger. Compared to a newly built TSHD, this is a simple and cost-effective way to add dredging capacity.
Benefits
- Short conversion/modification time
- Relatively low investment costs (compared to a hopper dredger)
- Low transport/mobilisation costs.
