Beaver® series overview

Cutter suction dredgers

We design and build a variety of standardised and custom-built cutter suction dredgers (CSDs). CSDs are power-houses that are capable of handling the toughest conditions below the water line. They can carve through rock, cut through tough clays and move the coarser sand and gravel. Their near continuous production makes them a reliable source of production. This makes our cutter suction dredgers ideal for many dredging jobs such as sand and gravel, land reclamation and port construction.
