High efficiency loose soil dredging

Plain suction dredging is a method of dredging that involves using a suction pump to extract sediment. The suction pump is connected to a long pipe, which is used to transport the material to a designated location, such as a containment area or disposal site.

Plain suction dredging is commonly used in many industries, including construction, mining, and marine transportation. It is used to remove sediment and debris from waterways to maintain navigability, to extract valuable minerals and other resources from the bottom of water bodies, and to facilitate the construction of structures, such as bridges and piers.

ECTMarine dredging vessels can be customized to fit the application fully. Customization not only can be done in the dredger itself but also in the way of building.

PSD Design & Equipment

For building projects abroad we offer Design & Equipment packages. with a partner as ECTMarine you will be able to build your dredger anywhere.

Plain suction dredger applications

Plain suction dredgers are typically purchased by organizations and companies involved in dredging operations for the purpose of: 

  1. Mining soils: soils kan contain valuable materials that can be sold or certain sand types are valuable for use in different applications. 
  2. Deepening of rivers, harbors and navigational channels, among others: when using the PSD for deepening, the soil must be free flowing and the bottom cannot be “flat” as a result.
  3. Tailings dredging: when the soil is loose and free flowing tailings can also be dredged in a mining situation.
