A unique dredging project underway in Italy

    For this project the site is only accessible by
    helicopter, making the mobilisation a challenging
    operation. A generator was installed onshore,
    supplying power through approximately 350 meters of
    cable to a barge where an electrically driven hydraulic powerpack is installed.

    The hydraulic powerpack drives a Bell 150 dredge
    pump together with an electric Bell waterjet pump. The
    waterjet system is used to loosen the compacted
    material, allowing the dredge pump to efficiently
    remove the sediment.
    The works are taking place at the intake of a dam,
    where dredging is being performed at depths between
    70 and 80 meters.
    The project is still ongoing and progressing well. It
    demonstrates how Bell Dredging equipment can
    deliver reliable and efficient dredging solutions, even in
    challenging and remote environments.
