Trimble Marine Construction Guidance Systems for Cutter Suction Dredges
Cutter Suction Dredging Applications
Operator is provided with a live feed of the dredger, where he or she can see the vessel outline, dredge head, surveyed surface, design, and dredged depth through plan and profile views.
Solutions offered are rugged and dependable, ensuring maximum operational time without interruptions. Dredge tolerance visualization enhances dredging efficiency, productivity, and profitability by providing real-time operational guidance to operators.
The system supports RTK (Real-Time Kinematic) for accurate tide and heave calculations, enhancing precision. Project design and survey models can be imported or created in the office or on-site, offering flexibility in managing the project.
Real-Time Visualization and Monitoring
Trimble Marine Construction guidance systems enable visualization and tracking of the ladder and cutter head’s angle and position. It allows users to view the location of the dredge head relative to surveyed and designated design surfaces. The system updates the working surface with real-time dredged depths and displays them in plan, profile, and 3D views. Additionally, it offers the option to set over-dredge and under-dredge tolerances, which are visible on the profile view of the dredge head.
The system also supports real-time sonar inputs, allowing for “As-Building” capabilities. It offers continuous data logging for as-dug records and volume reports.
Trimble Marine Construction Guidance Systems for Clamshell Crane Dredges
Clamshell Dredging Applications
Trimble Marine Construction guidance systems, specifically designed for clamshell dredging applications, assist dredge operators in enhancing productivity and efficiency. The system provides operators with a live, real-time overview of the crane, bucket, and barge through plan and profile views. The displays include important information such as the bucket position, status of the bucket (open or closed), bucket elevation, as well as the surveyed and design elevations.
The solutions offered are robust and dependable, ensuring maximum operational time without interruptions. By visualizing dredge tolerance parameters, operators gain the guidance necessary for achieving optimal precision and productivity in dredging operations.
The diking mode feature facilitates material placement operations, building up the 3D surface based on bucket drops, further enhancing operational efficiency.
Real-Time Visualization and Monitoring
The crane cabin is equipped with real-time plan and profile view displays that show the clamshell, design depths, and a color-coded Digital Terrain Model (DTM). The DTM indicates variations in elevation relative to the desired grade and is continuously updated to track the progress of the dredging work. The system automatically tracks information on the open/close status of the bucket. A convenient built-in calibration procedure is available to easily calibrate the cable counters.
In addition to these features, the system supports real-time sonar inputs, enabling “As-Building” capabilities. It also offers continuous data logging for production and volume reports. For precise tide and heave calculations, the system utilizes precise RTK (Real-Time Kinematic) technology, providing centimeter level accuracies.
Real-Time Seafloor and Design
Up/down indicators show the operator the exact distance to the design depth during movement. The software supports complex 3D designs.
Trimble Marine Construction Guidance Systems for Excavator Dredges
Efficient Dredging
The operator and tug captain have a real-time overview of the excavator and barge in plan and profile views. Displays include the outline of the excavator body, boom, stick and bucket as well as the barge in real-time against the surveyed and design surfaces and permit limits.
- Dredge tolerance visualization provides guidance for accurate, efficient dredging productivity
- Robust and reliable solutions maximize uptime
- Import or build project design and survey models in the office or field.
- Bucket tolerance visualization provides guidance for accurate, efficient dredging productivity
Real-Time Visualization and Monitoring
Bucket position relative to design is constantly tracked and displayed. A color-coded Digital Terrain Model (DTM) highlights the high and low spots relative to design. The DTM is updated in real-time from the position of the bucket teeth and the bucket width to track the progress of the dredging work. The update is immediately visible in the plan and profile views as the 3D surface gets updated. 3D design capabilities and functionalities support the use of complex designs.
- Continuous data logging for “As-Building” and volume reports
- Precise RTK is used for tide and heave measurement, providing centimeter level accuracies
