Preparations for Dredgers Before Construction
Nowadays, cutter suction dredgers have become the backbone of riverbank dredging projects, playing a crucial role in urban development and port dredging operations in rivers, lakes, and seas.
To fully utilize their potential benefits, comprehensive assessments of the construction environment are necessary before commencing work. Below, we will elaborate on the preparatory work required before dredging, hoping to be of assistance to you.
Preparations for Dredgers Before Construction:
To enhance work efficiency, the following points should be addressed before construction:
1.Survey the opening width, water depth, and its variations, as well as the height and slope length of riverbanks in the excavation area.
2.Investigate the nature of riverbed sediments and soil hardness. If debris is present, it should be thoroughly cleared beforehand.
3.Examine the distribution of trees and buildings along the riverbanks.
4.Check the height, size, and navigational requirements of bridges and locks over the river and assess their compliance with construction needs.
5.Understand the access routes, mechanical operation methods, site conditions, and restrictions on machinery entry and exit at the riverbanks.
6.Ensure a reliable supply of electricity, energy, and logistical support for maintenance during the construction process.
7.Be prepared to handle unforeseen situations, and if the river is busy, determine whether work suspension is allowed.
8.Consider weather conditions before construction commences.
With these preparations in place, the dredging operation can proceed smoothly and efficiently.
