Abstract
A dredging system for the removal and cleaning of sediment in bays, port entrances, navigable channels, docks, watercourses, lakes or reservoirs, which is provided with means for excavating, dragging and removing the bottom of the waterway and means for regulation and support, the driving force for which is provided from land, which facilitates extraction of sediments directly onto the land, immediately leaving a planar surface on the sea bed. The aforesaid is achieved by controlling the excavator means and very closely controlling the cutting depth, all in a shorter period of time and at lower cost.
Claims2
A dredging system configured for an extraction and cleaning of sediments comprising:
- a frame, wherein the frame comprises at least two longitudinal beams and a central beam;
- a drag blade;
- at least two chains;
- a hydraulic mechanism, wherein the hydraulic mechanism is located on the drag blade and allows for vertical movement of the drag blade;
- at least two watertight skids connected to the frame, wherein the watertight skids allow floatation of the dredging system;
- a lower blade located on a lower perimeter edge of the drag blade;
- a suction mouth located on the central beam;
- a suction pump located on the central beam and connected to the suction mouth via a hose;
- a extraction hose, wherein the extraction hose carries the extracted sediments;
- wherein the driving force of the dredging system is exerted from a land surface and not from a vessel on a water surface;
- wherein the suction mouth is installed on the central beam above the drag blade and is a flattened tube with a thin opening, elongated across a front and length of the drag blade such that the suction mouth is connected by the hose via the suction pump installed on the central beam;
- and
- wherein the suction pump sucks mud and sludge from a bottom through the thin opening and the mud and sludge is driven through the extraction hose.
