Cutter suction dredgers

Model Beaver®, Beaver® E, large standard CSD, custom-built CSD

Standardised Beaver® and fully electric Beaver® E cutter suction dredgers, large mono-hull CSDs and custom-built CSDs for compacted soils such as clay and rock.

Description

Royal IHC cutter suction dredgers (CSDs) dredge compacted soil types and materials such as clay and rock. While dredging, a CSD stays stationary on a spud and swings sideways using anchors and winches for accurate results, stepping forward with a walking or auxiliary spud. Central anchor systems can extend workability in swell.

Key features

  • Beaver®: standardised series known for robust construction and reliable operation
  • Beaver® E: fully electrically powered version; all Beaver® types are available as an E model
  • Large standard CSDs: mono-hull dredgers for various soils at large dredging depths
  • Custom-built CSDs: designed for requirements a standard CSD cannot meet; the site cites the Spartacus as the largest and most powerful CSD in the world and the first to run on LNG

Applications

Port and channel construction and maintenance, land reclamation and dredging of hard and compacted soils.
