Damen Refits Dredge Monitoring System for UK Dredging

摘要

Damen Dredge Equipment refit UK Dredg-ing's UKD Blue/in with a dredging monitoring system for trailing pipe and loading process monitoring. The project made use of the existing sensors on-board. The new monitoring system allows monitoring on both bridge wings of both trailing suction pipes in horizontal and vertical angles, each on one screen. On another screen the loading process is monitored, including a full overview of the trailing suction hopper dredge draught as well as the Tons Dry Solids (TDS) load line. At the navigation desk, two more screens have been mounted for the same purposes. The system allows the various screens to show different pages simultaneously. Also, a data logging and reporting module, plus remote access from the shore-based office, have been installed.
