Up to 100 metres depth with the new propulsion unit

Eurodredging’s technological evolution leads to the development of propulsion systems operational up to 100 metres depth, expanding possibilities for deep-water dredging and specialised marine applications.

Deep water challenges

Operating at 100 metres means dealing with pressures of approximately 10 bar, conditions requiring advanced sealing systems and specific engineering solutions. Hydrostatic pressure influences not only seals but also hydrodynamic performance, requiring a targeted design approach to maintain efficiency.

Technical innovations

Development requires integration of marine corrosion-resistant materials, pressure compensation systems and waterproof electronic controls. Control systems automatically manage operational variations related to depth, adapting parameters to maintain optimal performance.
