Getting reliable, cost-effective equipment, training and support to Santo Antonio Civil Consortium.
Reliable dredging equipment was needed to help widen and deepen the Madeira River. Royal IHC sent two standard IHC Beaver® cutter suction dredgers, the JATUARANA I and II, to Brazil.
Reliable equipment that offers high suction capabilities and large dredging depths and at the same time asks only regular, routine maintenance during the operations.
Read moreTo enable them to work safely and effectively with the installations on board, both Brazilian crews received extensive on-the-job operator training from Royal IHC.
Read moreDue to their modular construction the two customized Beaver® dredgers could be delivered from stock at short notice, were easy to transport and could be commissioned quickly at the dredge site in Brazil.
Read moreDelivering high production capacities combined with environmental monitoring, keeping the maintenance low during operation and increasing the dredging knowledge of the crews.
Autonomous operation of the dredgers is crucial. Additional options such as spud carrier and anchor booms enable the dredgemasters to move forward autonomously with the vessels
A powerful dredger was needed to safely dredge on a stream current with waves. Time pressure in the dredging project played an equally important role. Customized IHC Beaver® dredgers were the solution.
After a three month training by Royal IHC the operators had all the knowledge they needed to operate the vessels safely and efficiently.
Crews should spend their valuable time on their regular work, rather than on repairing the tools they use. Royal IHC provided durable equipment that delivers high production capacities while keeping the need for maintenance during operation low. Furthermore spare parts are quickly available when needed.
To ensure the wellbeing of local wildlife and to comply with the terms with regards to the environmental impact, underwater sensors analyze the river’s characteristics in real-time. These figures can be compared to measurements made before construction began.
Because of the different soil types and the obstacles met during the operation, such as trees and roots, dismountable equipment such was used. The cutter head is easily exchangebale with the also delivered dredging wheel in order to deal with the surroundings.
The IHC Beaver® is well known for its robust construction, reliable operation and excellent performance, resulting in the best value for money. We are the market leader, with over 800 of these cutter suction dredgers supplied worldwide.
Read moreWe have been developing cutterheads and dredging wheels for decades based on practical experience with numerous types of soils and dredging vessels from all around the world.
Read moreWe produce a wide range of centrifugal dredge pumps that are long proven to be highly successful in the transportation of abrasive mixtures. All pumps can be equipped with the latest Curve® technology.
