The successful application of the heavy cutter suction dredger designed by SCO HID Shipyard in the Maldives coral reef dredging project reflects the combination of technological innovation and ecological protection.
High strength reamer system: Using high hardness alloy materials (such as tungsten carbide) and optimized tooth shape design, improve the crushing efficiency of hard materials such as coral reefs, while reducing the physical damage to the surrounding non-target area.
Efficient mud treatment: Equipped with high-power mud pump and efficient separation system, fast absorption of broken materials and reduce the diffusion of suspended particles, reduce the impact of water turbidity on coral ecology.
Improved efficiency: 30% to 50% shorter dredging cycles compared to conventional equipment to meet the Maldives' pressing waterway maintenance or infrastructure needs.
Equipment durability: High salt environment is highly corrosive to metal parts, and it is necessary to use nano coating or cathodic protection technology to extend equipment life and reduce maintenance costs.
The SCO HID case provides a model for coral reef dredging around the world, and its core lessons include:
Ecological protection needs are integrated into the equipment development stage, as well as multi-stakeholder mechanisms: government, enterprises, research institutions and communities are involved to ensure project sustainability.
The success of the dredger is not only due to its engineering efficiency, but also because it creates a new model of hard bottom dredging compatible with ecological protection, providing a replicable solution for Marine engineering in similar sensitive areas. In the future, it is necessary to further promote intelligent and green technology to promote the transformation of the dredging industry to be environmentally friendly.
