Trailing Pipe System 500 for "Omvac Diez"

The “Omvac Diez” is equipped with a 500 mm trailing pipe for dredging at a maximum depth of 30 metres. The inboard Damen dredge pump, type BP5045, both fills the hopper during trailing as well as emptying it using the bow coupling unit or the rainbow nozzle. The dredger has various Damen dredging instrumentation systems monitoring factors such as trailing pipe position, load and draught, density and velocity, and vacuum and pressure.
