Customized Cutter Suction Dredgers (CSDs) for Your Dredging Needs

 

A vessel that utilizes a rotating cutter head and suction pipe to excavate and transport sediment and other materials from waterways is commonly referred to as a Cutter Suction Dredger (CSD). These vessels are used in a variety of applications, including port and harbor construction and maintenance, creating artificial islands and beaches, deepening navigational channels, and extracting minerals from riverbeds and coastal areas.

CSDs come in different sizes, from small modular units that can be transported by truck to large ocean-going vessels. Our stationary CSDs are designed for breaking up hard ground, and once the hard layer is cut through, the solid material is transported to the shore or a discharge area.

Our CSDs can be customized based on the dredging depth, working capacity, and discharge distance, with capabilities ranging from 15 meters in dredging depth and a maximum flow rate of 6000 cubic meters per hour. We offer a range of sizes, from 6 inches to 20 inches, and can provide new construction at our shipyard or locally with the customer.

If the customer prefers to build the CSD themselves, we offer support with dredger design and engineering/construction packages, local installation, and all necessary parts packaged in containers for shipping to the customer's overseas yard. Our standard pump selection and system design is based on WEIR production and piping analysis sheets, using Warman dredging pumps.
