Dredging Equipment
IHC’s dredge equipment is used to build, modify and upgrade hydraulic dredgers. It provides a range of benefits for customers globally, including higher productivity, reduced operating costs, optimum efficiency and minimal downtime. As a result, it has also contributed to the profitability of various international dredging projects.
Hopper Equipment:
The productivity of trailing suction hopper dredgers is influenced greatly by the effectiveness of the hopper equipment. It contains excavation, loading and discharge systems for TSHDs. The draghead, suction pipe, swell compensators, service frames, gantries, degassing systems and overflows are the primary equipment that ensures the efficient excavation and loading on board a TSHD.
The suction pipe and draghead can be positioned correctly to effectively perform the intended dredging operation and transport soil to the hopper. There are several types of discharge systems for quick and efficient soil discharge. Products include bow couplings and bottom doors.
Cutter Excavating Equipment:
IHC’s cutter technology is driven by fundamental knowledge of excavation, slurry creation and wear resistance. The first point of physical contact between the soil and the ship is the dredging wheel or cutter head, which are key components for high-density slurry creation. The productivity of a cutter suction dredger is influenced greatly by the effectiveness of these components.
Hopper Dredgers:
Trailing suction hopper dredgers (TSHDs) are designed to work in extreme conditions, at challenging depths and to handle various types of soil, such as sand, gravel and silt. IHC Easydredge® and IHC Beagle® are product lines of standardized TSHDs that benefit from IHC’s vast experience and extensive track record. The IHC Easydredge® ranges in hopper volume from 500 to 4,000m³. The IHC Beagle® ranges in hopper volume from 4,000 to 12,000m³. Find out more about our TSHDs.
