Here are a few tips on how you can easily estimate the suction and discharge production of dredging and mining equipment yourself. It is easier than it looks! Taking the time to learn how to do this could save you millions of dollars down the line. Creating your own estimate will also greatly increase your […]
Amid the constant bad news surrounding the coronavirus, it is time for some good news! Almost four years ago, the adventure to build the company in2Dredging Pty Ltd (i2D) began. In the interim years, we have gone from being effectively a sole trader to a real company with Quality and Health Safety & Environment management […]
in2Dredging’s new service is so cutting-edge that we had to create a completely new name for it. Since most of the data used is georeferenced, we felt that a service by the name of “Geographic Data Processing” would cover it well. Despite technological advances, dredging professionals often face unique challenges when processing big datasets originating […]
In2Dredging’s (i2D) Director and Principal Consultant, Simon Burgmans, has over 20 years’ experience in the dredging industry. He has extensive experience running dredging projects in mining environments, having worked for many large mine operators such as Rio Tinto, FMG and indirectly for Newcrest. Dredging and mining have some things in common. Both, for example, excavate […]
Last year in2Dredging’s consultants were inspired to produce many new and innovative ideas. Therefore, in2Dredging’s Outlook for 2020 is positive. For the new year, in2Dredging has set out the following resolutions: Certify our Quality Management System to ISO 9001 and get recognition for our high-quality standards; Update our existing tools by increasing functionality so as […]
This year’s Central Dredging Association’s (CEDA) flagship conference and exhibition was held in Rotterdam, in conjunction with the Europort Exhibition. in2Dredging (i2D) was one of the presenters at the conference, delivering a well‑received presentation on production estimates and performance monitoring. Topics Discussed at CEDA Dredging Days A main point of focus at the conference this […]
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, […]
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 […]
