ECTMarine designs and supplies dredgers and dredging equipment for a wide range of applications, including waterway maintenance, reservoir dredging, mineral mining and coastal restoration.
Depending on the application, soil conditions and project requirements, ECTMarine offers cutter suction dredgers, plain suction dredgers and other specialized dredging solutions. Dredgers can also be customized to meet specific customer and project requirements.
Industrial facilities and power plants depend on reliable water intake systems. Over time, sediment accumulation around intake structures can restrict water flow and affect operations.
ECTMarine offers cutter suction dredgers and plain suction dredgers for cleaning and maintaining industrial water intakes. The most suitable dredging equipment depends on sediment characteristics and project conditions.
The ECTMarine cutter suction dredger with swing ladder is ideal for marina maintenance. The swing cutterhead ladder is designed to work in narrow channels, marina and small projects.The swing dredger does not require anchors and cables witch prevents damage to yachts and (floating) jetties which is common with cable maneuvering dredgers. The dredger can be moved forward by a movable spud carrier system. Additional the quick dredge swing can be delivered in an environmentally friendly fully electric zero emission dredger. If the marina is close by sea with sufficient tide, a water injection dredger (WID) can be considered. A WID has minimal environmental impact, low carbon footprint, high production rate and low cost.
Over time, sand, silt and organic material can accumulate in water reservoirs, reducing their storage capacity. Reservoir dredging helps remove these deposits and maintain water storage capacity.
ECTMarine provides cutter suction dredgers and plain suction dredgers for reservoir dredging applications. Cutter suction dredgers are suitable for compacted and harder soils, while plain suction dredgers can be considered for loose, free flowing sediments such as sand and soft silt.
Sand mining involves extracting sand and minerals from the seabed by dredging. Sand is the planet’s most mined material. The ECTMarine cutter suction or plain suction dredger are ideal for sand mining. If the material is free floating a plain suction dredger can be considered. The cutter suction dredger is the best solution if it’s a hard soil type of material.
Mineral mining dredging involves extracting valuable minerals from underwater deposits, including mineral sands and other mineral resources. Dredged material can be transported to stockpiles or processing facilities for mineral separation.
ECTMarine offers cutter suction dredgers and plain suction dredgers for mineral mining applications. Plain suction dredgers can be considered for loose, free flowing materials, while cutter suction dredgers are suitable for harder soil conditions that require mechanical excavation.
Coastal restoration and land reclamation projects focus on restoring eroded shorelines and creating new land. These activities often involve dredging and transporting sand or other materials.
ECTMarine offers cutter suction dredgers for coastal restoration and land reclamation projects. Plain suction dredgers can also be considered when soil conditions allow.
For trailing suction hopper dredgers, ECTMarine offers solutions ranging from design and equipment packages to complete vessels.
We can customize where standardization is the norm. Due to our focus and way of engineering, we can offer economical customized solutions to your dredging challenges.
ECTMarine can fabricate dredgers and dredging parts in-house to ensure quality and on time delivery. Fabrication can also be done by the client according to ECTMarine design.
Dredging is our core business. Innovation and development of dredgers and other marine related vessels, is our main added value to your business.
