FINETUNING DREDGING ACTIVITIES WITH ROBOTICS
Dredging is an essential part of economy, allowing waterways and relevant infrastructure to operate at optimal capacity in favour of global distribution of goods.
Dredging has been doing well for decades and will continue to do so for decades to come, with new technologies finetuning more and more issues related to the activity.
However, there is space to improve.
Accuracy
Accuracy in dealing with last mile, hard to reach areas.
Cost-efficiency
LEE* maintenance dredging costs and efficiency. Costs of rework in maintenance dredge.
Downtime
Accuracy in dealing with last mile, hard to reach areas.
Environment
Environmental sensitivity of certain areas/projects. Emissions related to conventional dredging systems.
UNMANNED TECHNOLOGY
FOR LAST MILE DREDGING
Toolbot offers a solution for the last mile dredging operations where spots are hard to reach, where underneath infrastructures have to be maintained or when conventional methods are oversized to actuate with precision. We make possible recurrent maintenance dredging in ports and marinas even in water dams due to an easy mobilization by road truck using an underwater dredger vehicle.
ADVANTAGES
Remotely Operated
Controlled form the surface and equipped with tracks, an auger head and a submersible pump.
Small Size
Easily access to hard to reach places that need attention but are hard to clear with accuracy.
Easy to Operate
Teleoperation done from a mobile control room, by one operator. Easy to plan and correct course.
Smart sensors
Sensor payload monitors the position and performance of the vehicle.
High Precision
Accuracy in dealing with last mile, hard to reach areas.
Cost Effective
Less manpower and fuel per cubic meter dredged.
Mobile
Uses standard containers. Easy transportation and mobilization by truck, barge or vessel according to situation.
Environmentally Friendly
Less sediment plumes in dredging activity and less emissions generated in running it.
