TRAILING SUCTION PIPE SYSTEMS (TSP)

Efficient operations due to smart integration

Wherever your yard is located, whatever dredge job is to be done: the customised trailing pipe dredge package will ensure optimal production of your TSHD. The dedicated mission equipment for your dredge design will result in short hopper loading times in different soils, and the smart integration of unloading equipment. For both newbuilds and retrofits, customised dredge packages are the solution for an optimal dredging performance.

KEY DREDGING FEATURES

Fit for purpose

The dredging equipment you acquire should perfectly fit its dredging purpose. A hopper dredger can be used for maintenance dredging in ports and marinas, to mine and transport sand for the building industry, or to restore beaches. The dredging equipment packages we deliver will ensure that your dredger is fitted out for efficient dredging.

Designed to order

What is your dredging depth?

Each operational profile is different, yet the dredger’s building blocks are the same. Damen offers a wide range of standard dredge components which once combined, form powerful hopper dredgers. Due to the flexibility of the design, the dredge packages all are customised. This ensures every dredge system we deliver is optimised and that the hopper dredge is fit for purpose.

Engineered to order

Retrofit or newbuild

Whether a retrofit or newbuild, the Damen dredging system will do the job. Our engineering department operates in close cooperation with the building yard or the conversion yard. This ensures a perfect fit and therefore short installation times.

Versatility

What is your next dredge job?

Trailing suction hopper dredgers are known for their ability to do a wide array of dredge jobs. These include the maintenance of ports, marinas and waterways such as navigation channels and rivers. At the other end of the spectrum there is harbour construction, land reclamation, coastal defence and the construction of artificial islands. River dredging and port maintenance usually entails pumping and discharging fine materials, whereas the capital dredging jobs will entail moving heavier sand. Dredge package designs are adapted to the dredge job to be executed.
