Dredging: Trailing Suction Hopper Dredgers - How does it work?

Perfectly explained , good work to whoever made the video

[@tylerbell6796]

Absolutely incredible!

"the vessel can discharge it's load in various ways" hehe. heheeh

really fun to watch

[@rtz549]

Impressive machine.

[@jakubszarek6833]

Been on one of those. A LOT OF PIPES

[@ministerulmagiei]

how does it pump all that water with sand? does it insert air to create a waterflow, or does it create a vacuum chamber?

[@goldensilk5811]

Multipurposes style vessel...superb 👍

[@rosemariebredahl9519]

All beach replenishment research MUST also study the effects on the sand-donor sites, and also effected water currents.

[@easyriderdon]

Very versatile vessel.

@IADC Dredging (International Association of Dredging Companies) how powerful is the suction on a TSHD

[@IADCDredging1]

Dear Rhona, The suction power of a TSHD depends on the power of the dredging pump, which relates to the size of the vessel. The larger the vessel, the more powerful is the dredge pump. IADC publishes vessel data on its website. Amongst the data is the power the dredge pump: www.iadc-dredging.com/publication/iadc-fleet-list-2021-2/

[@rhonatavernia989]

@IADC Dredging (International Association of Dredging Companies)how much does one suction pipe on TSHD weigh

[@renekolman4193]

This depends on several factors: diameter of the suction pipe, size draghead, presence of an underwater pump.

[@danieldanfoxworth9528]

What diameter rocks will it handle

[@IADCDredging1]

In general a TSHD is not used for dredging rock. Occasionally it can handle larger pieces of rock as long as they can pass the dredge pump. In the Melbourne channel deepening project, equipment was specially designed to dredge rock. See www.iadc-dredging.com/article/port-melbourne-environment/

[@MeditationRelaxSleeps]

Are these DP ?

[@lawrencechiu9702]

does this work well for fine grained material?

[@IADCDredging1]

Yes, they can dredge sands, clays, silt or gravel.

[@BigCroca]

@@IADCDredging1 how much do these ships cost?

[@rhonatavernia989]

@@BigCroca the initial cost of a standardised TSHD starts with around EUR 8 million

[@JerseyShoreShellingMama]

Serious question…where do the shells go? Is there a strainer for them or do they just get pumped out with the rest of the sand?

[@renekolman4193]

Dear Audrey, the shells get out with the dredged sand.

[@zillurrahman7679]

How much cost to clean a river basin (Like per kilometer )?

[@IADCDredging1]

Dear Zillur, The answer on your question depends on many factors. To name a few: • Depth and with of the river • Discharge of the river • Level of contamination • Material to be dredged • Available equipment. All these and other factors determine the costs of the dredging project. A straight answer can’t be given.

[@russellgxy2905]

I believe there is some kind of coordination so ship do start dredging in an area that's too densely populated near the seabed

[@Liamhears]

@@russellgxy2905 they should have designated areas where they are allowed to dredge, yes. And those are monitored

[@shaneward6689]

When the life on the seabed hears/feels the vibrations from the machinery they will get the hell out of the way in a fast hurry, all of these people who want " designated zones" to do this and that and have them monitored.....such bullshit, that's why only big companies are the only ones who can get anything done....too much red tape for the small guy....stupid fucking rule and regulations..

I just don't understand why we are not re-cutting all the inland water ways from side-ditches, creeks, rivers, ponds, etc. Water displacement to ease flooding, rising waters, etc. Now run it though a gold sluice, what the hell

[@user-archonquest]

Same

[@tobiasb6768]

Super expensive and a lot of custom small scale stuff.

[@markknoop6283]

The sand from the rivers is toxic and needs to be cleaned before using somewhere else.

[@johnsimon3361]

What if it's rocky? Not sandy

[@IADCDredging1]

Up to a certain level of rockiness, it can be dredged with a modified draghead. This so-called ripper draghead has been described in Terra et Aqua 118. When it is too rocky a Cutter Suction Dredger is necessary.

[@bass6478]

[@ganeshpashilkar7322]

Is it need to mine In the ocean wildlife in the sea are disturbed some must die.The sand is release in the rainbow process that turbid the water that may disturb the migrating marine animals.

Someone send this ship to Tuvalu Islands,, they are sinking rapidly,, they already have ring shaped island and the inside is hollow and filled with water.. All we need to do is pump the sand in and increase the level,,,

There are a lot of living organisms and essential components of the seas thriving in that "sand" that took millions and millions of years to create that perfect balance, of which is disrupted.

How do you protect sea animals from getting sucked into the dredger? Seems environmentally irresponsible.

[@renekolman4193]

Dear Bamboo Blue, Please have a look at www.iadc-dredging.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/article-faunaguard-a-scientific-method-for-deterring-marine-fauna-aqua-138-2.pdf A draft PIANC report says: Impact - Entrainment and/or impingement of species: • Deterrent - acoustic or different, • Exclusion - catch by trawling/hand caught and displace, screens at draghead, water intake (see email Wayne, dredging equipment (WID, TSHD, ..??); tickler chains (Brisbane Port video, Dredging industry), turtle deflector (US ACE), bubble screens to close of a basin, • Construction management: choice of equipment, pump procedure (jet pumps on before lowering drag head (deterring mechanism), then dredge pump on and reverse while raising), temporal windows, observers (visual or by sonar), avoidance of high spots for refuge (aka turtle chill out areas, dude),
