Dredging Pipe Wear: Challenges and Solutions

Dredging activities are an indispensable part of marine engineering. However, with the transportation of sand-water mixture (mud) in pipelines, the problem of pipeline wear has become increasingly prominent, causing considerable trouble for dredging companies. Mud is extremely abrasive and can cause equipment wear and even failure when in contact with pipe walls and other dredging equipment components. The degree of wear of the pipeline depends on factors such as the type, size and shape of the material, and local wear that is higher than the average wear is more likely to lead to pipeline failure, making the pipeline wear rate difficult to predict and bringing uncertainty to the operations of dredging companies.

Under harsh working conditions, such as when transporting materials such as coral reefs and weathered rocks, the particles often have edges and greater hardness, which will aggravate the wear of the pipeline. Ordinary hoses are prone to wear under long-term friction, resulting in hose rupture and leakage, thereby affecting the safety and efficiency of dredging projects. CDSR armored hose has high wear-resistant properties and can effectively resist the wear of material particles, thereby extending the service life of the hose and improving the reliability and stability of the pipeline. CDSR dredging hoses are suitable for conveying materials with a specific gravity between 1.0 and 2.3, such as seawater, fresh water and silt, clay, sand mixtures, as well as gravel, flaky weathered rocks and coral reefs. CDSR dredging hoses can be use for port dredging, river restoration, and seabed sediment cleaning. 

Regular inspection and maintenance of dredging pipelines can help to identify and repair worn or damaged sections in a timely manner. This includes regularly cleaning the accumulated sediment inside the pipe, checking the integrity of pipes, and replacing severely worn components. Through this preventive maintenance measure, the service life of the pipe can be extended and unexpected downtime can be reduced. CDSR dredging hoses are widely used in dredging projects around the world due to their excellent performance. CDSR will continue to be committed to providing high-quality dredging solutions for the offshore engineering industry and creating greater value for customers.
