DREDGING Rule 3 § (g) (ii)

Dredging is an excavation activity or operation usually carried out at least partly underwater, in shallow seas or fresh water areas with the purpose of gathering up bottom sediments and disposing of them at a different location (www.wilkipedia.org)

The main types of dredgers are: •  Bucket dredgers

•  Trailing suction hopper dredgers

•  Cutter suction hopper dredgers

•  Split hopper dredgers

•  Backhoe dredgers

•  Stone dumping and Fallpipe vessels

•  Floating cranes

•  Reclamation dredgers © www.iadc-dredging.com

54


Suction Dredger

A stationary dredger used to mine for sand. The suction pipe is pushed vertically into a sand deposited. If necessary water jets help to bring the sand up. It is loaded into barges or pumped via pipeline directly to the reclamation area

Trailing Suction Hopper Dredger

A self propelled ship which fills its hold or hopper during dredging, while following a pre-set track. The hopper can be emptied by o bottom doors or valves (dumping) or by pumping its load ashore. This kind of dredger is mainly used in open water: rivers, canals, estuaries and the open sea.

Rule 3 § (g) (ii)

55


Cutter Suction Dredger

A stationary dredger which makes use of a cutter head to loosen the material to be dredged. It pumps the dredged material via a pipeline ashore or into barges. While dredging the cutter head describes arcs and is swung around the spudpole powered by winches. The cutter head can be replaced by several kinds of suction heads for special purposes, such as environmental dredging.

Reclamation Dredger

A stationary dredger used to empty hopper barges. A suction pipe is lowered into the barge. Extra water can be added by water by water jets to facilitate the suction process. The dredged material is pumped by pipeline ashore, to a reclamation area, or to a storage depot.

Rule 3 § (g) (ii)

56


Rule 3 § (g) (ii)

Bucket Dredger © www.hrsms.org

Bucket dredgers raise bottom sediments to the surface. The buckets are attached to a chain and graded according to size (200 to 1,000 litres). Bucket dredgers are held in place by anchors. These days, this classic vessel is mainly used on environmental dredging projects. (www.boskalis.com/vervolg_vloot.php?pageID=123)
