Seabed Dredging and Sea Discharge Services
What is Seabed Dredging?
Seabed dredging is the process of removing materials such as sand, gravel and rubble from the seabed. Seabed dredging is carried out to protect the depth of marine structures such as ports and marinas, to clean waterways and to protect the environment.
Seabed dredging is carried out using dredging ships and dredging boats. Since dredgers are large and powerful, they can transport more materials faster. Scanning bots are small and agile, so they can scan in narrow and hard-to-reach places.
Seabed Scanning Methods
- High Pressure Pump; In this method, using a high-pressure pump, materials such as sand and gravel that are not large on the seabed are transported to the land through a pipe system.
- Mechanical Scanning; In this method, materials from the seabed are collected using a scoop or bucket, depending on the depth and the material to be dredged, and transported to excavation ships.
- Fragmentation Scanning; In this method, materials on the seabed are cut into pieces using a cutter and then transported to land through a pipe system.
Benefits of Seabed Dredging
- It helps maintain the depth of marine structures such as ports, marinas and heron shelters. This enables the safe docking and departure of ships and other marine vessels.
- Obstacles on the seabed increase the risk of ship collision. Sea dredging makes maritime traffic safer by eliminating these obstacles.
- Sand, gravel and other materials on the seabed cause waterways to narrow and their depth to decrease. Marine Dredging makes waterways safer by removing these materials.
- Wastes accumulating on the seabed cause marine pollution. Marine Dredging helps protect the environment by cleaning up this waste.
