SPI Servicios Portuarios Integrados for Mar del Plata port in Argentina has actually gotten a DOP Dredger element plan fromDamen Shipyards Group The Argentinian shipyard will certainly construct significant parts and also construct the dredger. The DOP Dredger 250 will certainly be utilized to dig up beneath a drifting dock, which the shipyards wishes to maintain functional permanent. The technique is that the dock will certainly continue to be in position throughout the dredging tasks.
The Argentinian ship building contractor SPI has a comprehensive backyard in the bay of Mar del Plata, situated on theSouth Atlantic Ocean Beside the newbuild of yanks, angling vessels and also barges, the backyard additionally has a fixing department. The 150 metre drifting dock remains in usage day-and-night for fixing neighborhood vessels. Therefore, lugging away the dock for digging up tasks is not preferable.

The framework stated lies in the inside of ports (Mar del Plata and also Caleta Olivia) and also on the financial institutions of Arroyo La Cruz (second artery of the Paran á Las Palmas River), in Campana, Buenos Aires.
All the various altitude systems readily available at the shipyard call for dredging upkeep jobs, because of minority all-natural water deepness on the ports. That is why they need to be dug up occasionally in order to keep the industrial tasks that occur there.
The DOP Dredger, kind DD250, is a conventional dismountable dredger. The dredge has actually been made to get rid of silt or sand from -2.5 m to -15 m dredging deepness. It pumps some 1.250 m3/h utilizing a Ø250 mm pipeline line. The complete set up power is 395kW. Shipped in just a few containers will certainly be the operating cabin, the power pack, a jet pack in addition to the different hydraulically driven winches.
The particular devices (digging up pump, accessory devices and also control devices) will certainly be supplied byDamen In the advancement of this task Damen’s designers collaborated with SPI’s designers in a customized variation made on a conventional devices base, which get to the shipyard ´ s requirements and also enables them to maintain their training devices at 100% of its functional ability, making company extra reliable.

The DOP Dredger DD250 will certainly have the ability to operate in 2 setups: with a cutter head targeting compressed dirts and also with a jet water helped mining go to simple pumping away loosened up mass debris. Especially with the portable jet water assisted head, the DOP pump– which is placed near the bottom end of the ladder– will certainly have the ability to get to the pit at– 11m beneath the drifting dock. Due to continual tidal motion and also website traffic in the active blog post, every year a layer of silt of some 30-40 centimetres is developed beneath the drifting dock.
As an enhance to the major task on which this financial investment is based upon, the dredger will certainly additionally be readily available for any type of port framework requirement, with the opportunity of being relocated and also conveniently constructed on where it is needed.
The DOP Dredger will certainly not be utilized in Mar del Plata just. The modular building and construction of the dredge makes it possible for simple transportation by roadway. SPI is intending to transfer the dredger routinely to their various other 2 shipyards, being Campana Port– some 80 kilometres north of Buenos Aires– for the upkeep of one more backyard consisting of drifting dock. The vehicles will certainly additionally deliver the DOP Dredger some 2,000 kilometres southern to the Caleta Paula shipyard for the exact same upkeep obligations, making certain optimum uptime of the neighborhood ship fixing centers.
Mr Ciceri, SPI’s Purchasing Manager, remarks, “We are happy to build the first dredger in Argentinian history. The dredger will ensure our independence so that we will be able to operate our floating dock more efficiently.”
The dredger will certainly be functional very early following year.
