Dredging

Some may regard dredging as a relatively simple activity. But excavating material from below the water surface can present many problems, and if mistakes are made the additional costs can be very high. Dredgers are expensive to purchase and run, and their capital cost and operating rates can only be justified by high utilisation and high production. Production is the key to successful dredging for both client and operator. But the difficulty of working under water - the results of a dredging project are seldom visible - in an often hostile natural environment means that there are many risks. It is thus important that dredging projects are adequately designed and supervised, and that all involved have a proper appreciation of what can and cannot be economically achieved.

We are able to supply these highly reliable drive components. For the dredging industry we have supplied motors, generators, transformers and other components to be used for the drive of:

Bow thrusters
Ship propulsion
Power generation
Power distribution / conversion
Winches

Especially our submersible motors are one of our unique selling points in this type of business. They are relatively economical than our competitor products. Due to the robust and dry design they can reach a depth of 60m under water.
