Italdraghe recently delivered another BDC 200 dredging bucket to a Genoa-based company specialising in dredging works and beach replenishment.
The dredging bucket was installed on a CAT excavator that worked from a floating pontoon to dredge sand and silt from within the walls of the harbor of Chiavari in order to create a flat water bed at a depth of 4 metres. The dredged material was discharged via HDPE pipeline 350 metres away in a designated back fill site.
The BDC 200 is just one of a range of Italdraghe dredging buckets designed to fit virtually every type and size of excavator.
This new “mini-dredger” is both compact and efficient thanks to its powerful cutter head and dredging pump, identical to those on full-sized cutter suction dredger.
The Italdraghe dredging bucket offers the following advantages:
– Simple quick-fit installation;
– Low maintenance costs;
– One-man operation;
– Easy to transport;
– Driven by original excavator power source;
– Ideal for hard-to-access stretches of water;
– Guarantees a smoothly cut, flat water bed.
