Accurate production estimates are key in determining budgets and schedules for any dredging project. in2Dredging‘s paper for the CEDA Dredging Days Conference aims to assist Clients to recognise optimistic or unrealistic budgets and schedules. This paper deviates from previous papers on this subject in its level of definition. “Production estimates are key to budgets and schedules” Simon Burgmans, […]
A few years ago, in2Dredging developed the Pumps ‘n Pipeline (PnP) estimating tool, which can be used to accurately estimate suction and discharge production. In this post, PnP’s results are introduced chronologically, so as to help describe how suction production rates can be estimated more accurately. PnP has already been explained at a high-level in […]
Clients in need of dredging work often request dredging equipment performance guarantees and some of these clients rely on these guarantees to set their budgets and schedules. Unfortunately, however, dredging equipment suppliers lack the necessary experience and knowledge to accurately estimate production rates or to determine the optimal work methodology to achieve maximal production rates […]
in2Dredging (i2D) releases an online tutorial of its Equipment Performance Review (EPR v2.2) tool, which is available on i2D’s EPR webpage. The tutorial is aimed at allowing dredging professionals to review equipment data quickly and easily, so they can consistently monitor their performance. The tutorial covers the monitoring of dredge equipment to certify compliance with […]
in2Dredging took on the challenge of developing an innovative model to estimate the extent of turbidity plumes and predict their deposition footprint. And we succeeded, all within a short timeframe and on a shoestring budget! Most projects that involve placing dredged material underwater require plume modelling to estimate the influenced area. Traditionally, hydrodynamic models are […]
Are you estimating pump production for your dredging or mining project? A growing number of dredging and mining professionals rely on Pumps ‘n Pipeline (PnP) for their production estimates. The estimating software program PnP v1.4 now has more features to help you accurately estimate production for various soil mixtures and pump installations. The new features […]
The new tool estimates subsea equipment jetting production in any soil types and greatly enhances in2Dredging’s estimating capabilities. A small up-front investment in this jet modelling tool may result in sizeable savings during a project’s execution phase and over the lifespan of subsea equipment. Read more
Recently, Greg Miller and Sandra Gyles represented in2Dredging at the WA Australian Engineering Excellence Awards. Judges were impressed with the wide range of entries and the world class innovations that were presented at the WA awards. It was enjoyable to be surrounded by so many innovative minds! in2Dredging submitted its Subsea Rock Cutting […]
in2Dredging (i2D) has recently been entered in the Australian Engineering Excellence Awards (AEEA) final for 2018 with our unique Subsea Rock Cutting (SRC) tool. SRC estimates the cutting production for any dredging or mining equipment that mechanically cuts rock in a subsea environment. It calculates the resultant cutting force on equipment thus allowing the […]
Set Benchmarks Benchmarking is used to discover the best performance possible in order to achieve a competitive advantage. Benchmarking is the process of obtaining a standard, or a point of reference. Simply put, benchmarks are the what, and benchmarking is the how. Understanding the physics of dredging enables you to easily identify your benchmarks. […]
