TRAILER SUCTION HOPPER DREDGER
 WHAT IS TRAILER SUCTION HOPPER DREDGER(TSHD)?

✓ The trailing suction hopper dredger (TSHD) is a versatile vessel that unites dredging,
transport and discharge in a single piece of equipment.
✓ TSHDs are self-propelled
✓ The dredging installation consists of one or two suction arms with dragheads that are lowered
off the side of the vessel in order to collect the soil of the seabed
✓ The dredged soil is stored in the dredger’s hold for transport.
✓ Trailing suction hopper dredgers (TSHDs) are hydraulic dredgers
MAIN FEATURES OF TRAILING SUCTION HOPPER DREDGERS
HOW TSHD WORKS?
 PRODUCTION CYCLE OF TSHD

• Loading time
• Turning time
• Sailing time loaded
• Time to discharge
• Sailing time empty
DIFFERENT TYPE OF DRAGHEADS

Type General application

Fruhling Silts, soft clays and loose sands

Silt Silts

Californian Sands, especially compact sands

Venturi Sands

Waterjet Firm sands and medium clays

Active Medium, firm and stiff clays

 ADVANTAGES OF TSHD

 Relative immunity to weather and sea conditions;

 Independent operation;
 Minimal effect on other shipping;
 The ability to transport dredged material over long distances;
 Relatively high rate of production;
 Simple, and hence inexpensive, mobilisation procedure.
 DISADVANTAGES OF TSHD

 Inability to dredge strong materials;

 Inability to work in very restricted areas;
 Sensitivity to concentrations of debris;
 Dilution of dredged materials during the loading process.
 TSHD IN BANGLADESH

TSHD will be used to dredge the main channel of Responsible company: Jan De Nul (Belgium
PAYRA COAL POWER PLANT project. Based Company)

The works are…

 Diogo Cao
 Anchorage
 Tristao Da Cunha
 Berthing areas to accommodate large sea going
vessels
 TSHD IN BANGLADESH(CONT.)

 TSHD will be used to restore 24,000 km of waterways on major rivers for the smooth movement of vessels
 Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Authority (BIWTA) has been collecting these dredgers as part of the
government's procurement of 35 TSHD dredgers
