A long discharge distance behind your dredger can be bridged easily. By adding a sand pump station, the dredged mixture is transferred to the spot where you need it. Booster Stations add pumping power to your dredger on site.

BOOSTER STATIONS (BS)

Exactly in sync with your dredger

A booster pump station teams up with a dredger. This interface has to be flawless; it’s essential to combine the right equipment. Therefore, our Cutter Suction Dredger range and Booster Station range are an exact match. They even share the same dredge pump and drive, and the dredge master operates the booster using remote control from his operating seat.

KEY FEATURES

Booster pump stations fit for the job

Placing a Booster Station in a dredge discharge pipeline cannot be done at random. Careful selection of the booster size is vital to team it up efficiently with the dredger. Moreover, the location of the booster unit in the piping is crucial for the success of the dredge job. The Damen team can assist you in choosing the perfect match.

A Booster Station is used as an additional sand pump in a long discharge pipeline. Each dredged mixture – whether a slurry of silt, sand or gravel – has its own critical velocity. The additional sand pump station in a discharge line ensures that the mixture flow will keep moving well above this crucial point. A single dredger can thus deliver dredged material to a faraway disposal site – by just adding extra pumping power.

All booster pump stations are container-sized units to ensure practical transport and rapid mobilisation on site. Moreover, the design is such that large hatches give access to both local controls and all equipment inside the housing.
