| Abstract |
Over the years, the water injection dredger (abbreviated as WID) has found its way in the dredging world. For smaller dredging projects, this type of dredger has become a highly appreciated piece of equipment. However, in practice we see that these dredgers are equipped with many tools, especially designed for various types of jobs: they are also used for other purposes. For example, water injection dredgers are also used for levelling of sand barriers, etc. This has often consequences for the structural design of the water jet ladder and ladder hinges, especially in relation to strength. Water injection dredgers are mostly small vessels with good manoeuvrability. Sometimes they are used for other tasks. So why not modify work vessels with good manoeuvrability and sufficient deck space into a water injection dredger. In this way, the idea arose to design containerized units, which could be easily mounted on suitable existing vessels with only small permanent adaptations. |
