Projects Suitable for Cutter Suction Dredgers
The soil suitable for self-propelled cutter suction dredgers is hard soil and cohesive soil, including hard or cemented sand, various clays, soft rocks or even hard rocks.
The typical engineering type of a super large self-propelled cutter suction dredger is different from that of a trailing suction dredger. In most cases, such ships are used for relatively small projects all over the world, such as nearshore sections of pipelines, sea sewage pipes, port construction and various special projects of offshore industry.
Some long-term projects that can be foreseen in the future include the widening of Panama canal or other canals and the laying of long-distance pipelines.
