Some of the main components supplied from Dredge Yard Makina are dredge pumps, dredge ball joints, turning glands, swivel bends, dredge valves, tumbler blocks, cutter heads and many others.

Dredge Yard is also co-operating with many partners in the region for the casting and machining in order to cope with the high demand of Dredge Yard’s products and keep its short delivery times.

The company is able to supply components in several cast steel and cast iron, in soft and hard wear resistant materials that can be used in dredge pumps, ball joints, bends and many others. Those components are cast with Dredge Yard’s partners and fettling is done in the facility in Izmit.

Once the machining is done, all products are thoroughly tested, inspected and assembled at Dredge Yard work shop and made ready for transport.
