High efficiency loose soil dredging

Plain suction dredging is a method of dredging that involves using a suction pump to extract sediment. The suction pump is connected to a long pipe, which is used to transport the material to a designated location, such as a containment area or disposal site. Plain suction dredging is commonly used in many industries, including construction, mining, and marine transportation. It is used to remove sediment and debris from waterways to maintain navigability, to extract valuable minerals and other resources from the bottom of water bodies, and to facilitate the construction of structures, such as bridges and piers.

Who uses plain suction dredgers

Plain suction dredgers are typically purchased by organizations and companies involved in dredging operations for the purpose of: 

  1. Mining soils. soils kan contain valuable materials that can be sold or certain sand types are valuable for use in different applications. 
  2. Deepening of rivers, harbors and navigational channels ,among others. when using the PSD for deepening the soil must be free flowing and the bottom cannot be “flat” as a result.
  3. Tailings dredging; when the soild is loose and free flowing tailings can also be dredged in a mining situation.

Procurement trough tender process

Plain suction dredgers are capital infrastructural tools that in many cases are procured by government agencies, International organizations and large private companies that perform infrastructural projects for governments. Therefore the use of tender processes to aquire these dredgers are common. 

The tender process typically involves issuing a request for proposals (RFP) that outlines the technical specifications and requirements for the cutter suction dredger, as well as the evaluation criteria that will be used to assess the proposals. The RFP may also include information on the budget available, the expected delivery timeline, and any other terms and conditions that bidders must adhere to.

To be successful in the tender processes careful planning, evaluation, and monitoring is required
