Hydraulic Transport

Limitations of Hydraulic Transport when Pumping Boulders

Showcasing Pumps ‘n Pipeline an Advanced Hydraulic Transport Modelling System Introduction Hydraulic transport remains one of the most efficient methods for moving sediments, sand and gravel over long distances. However, when dealing with transporting larger particles, especially boulders and fragmented rock, significant challenges arise affecting equipment lifespan, operational efficiency and production rates. in2Dredging’s Pumps ‘n […]

Upcoming Pumps ‘n Pipeline Masterclass

Our Pumps ‘n Pipeline (PnP) users have often requested an intensive masterclass, so now is your chance! In three hours, you can learn to create your own suction and discharge production estimates or at the very least understand the physical limitations and associated risks of hydraulic transport. Professionals worldwide find our PnP tool easy to […]

Soil-Water Mixture Viscosity

Determining Soil-Water Mixture Viscosity

In order to determine suction and discharge production, successfully characterising soil-mixture viscosity can be key. The latest version of Pumps ‘n Pipeline (PnP), i.e., v1.6.9, can simulate any soil-water mixture in order to estimate production. It can also help users identify and enter the right mixture properties. Water viscosity is only relevant for medium to […]

Equipment Performance Review tool

Equipment Performance Review (EPR) V3.0.0

in2Dredging has just released an update to its Equipment Performance Review (EPR) tool, version 3.0.0. The purpose of EPR is to review equipment performance by setting up customised templates. These templates can then be used to quickly check and visualise data stored in any ASCII logfiles. For example, datafiles generated daily by spreads involved in […]

PnP v1.6.8 New Regression Tool

Major Update of Pumps ‘n Pipeline (PnP) v1.6.8

Pumps ‘n Pipeline (PnP) v1.6.8, a suction and discharge production estimation tool, has had a major update. PnP was first released four years ago in 2016 and its functionality and features have steadily grown over the last few years.  This year PnP underwent a major update to include some of our PnP user’s requests. The […]

Estimating Dredging Production

How to Easily Estimate Dredging Production

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 […]

Production estimates and performance monitoring

i2D Presents at CEDA’s Dredging Days Conference

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 […]

CEDA Dredging Days Production Estimates

i2D on its way to CEDA Dredging Days

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, […]

How to Accurately Estimate Suction Production

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 […]
