This 24″ or 600mm trailing suction installation with the double walled dredge pump is used to fill a 1800m3 hopper in about 70 minutes. Off shore sea sand is suctioned up from the seabed and loaded into the ship’s hopper. The ship is sailed to protected waters where the load is transferred by means of the side barge loading pipes into inland (wet)bulk ships. From here the sand is transported to inland locations where it is used for concrete production, road construction, or building projects.
