DREDGE VALVES FOR CAPITAL DREDGING PROJECT
One of our most recent running projects involves manufacturing and delivery of dredge valves. More specifically, dredge valves of 850 mm internal diameter and working pressure of 20 bar.
The 60 valves and 15 hydraulic power units (HPUs) are ordered by a client in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). The ordered components will be used on board the client’s new vessels, which are intended for capital dredging – creation of new artificial islands. In this project, our supplied valves will be used to divert discharge flow from one location to another.
Due to demanding work function and exposure to abrasive slurry materials, dredge gate valves are highly sophisticated components. Therefore, we select the most robust material and high pressure handling capability to ensure proper function and long component life.
The first batch of the order are to be delivered in the third quarter of 2019.
