Innovate2Dredge has extensive experience in troubleshooting on site, production estimates, development of new tools and assistance in production estimating for special projects.

Therefore, Innovate2Dredge can offer dredging consultancy in every phase of a dredging project.

As innovation is the core business, innovation will be incorporated in the project wherever it can result in an advantage for the client.
 
DREDGING CONSULTANCY - TENDER PHASE
During tender phase of a dredging project, Innovate2Dredge can assist on different levels to get the best proposal in order to win the project. This is based on a thorough theoretical and practical knowledge of dredging, combined with a passion for innovative ideas.
​
​
​
  • give a rapid idea about the production rates of any dredger
​
​
  • look at the feasibility of a project for any dredger
​
​
  • look for the most optimal execution method
​
​
  • look for technical innovations that will bring down the project cost. By introducing technical innovations during the tender phase, the cost and/or execution time of a project can be reduced significantly

DREDGING CONSULTANCY - PROJECT EXECUTION
During the tender phase of a dredging project, an estimation of the production is required for the dredgers that will do the job. The estimate is based on soil data that comes with the tender documents, the specs of the dredgers and the knowledge of the production estimator.
​
During the execution of the job, the actual achieved dredging production rates will rarely match the estimated values. In case they are lower than expected, this can become very problematic and solutions need to be found on board to minimize the gap.
​
A lower dredging production rate than expected, originates in one or more different parts of a dredging job:
​
  • excavation rate
  • pumping ashore production
  • dumping rate
  • overall production rate
  • wrong or insufficient soil data
  • excessive wear and tear
​
Each of these problem sources needs to be solved in a different way but in general it will be based on a combination of theoretical background and experience on board of our consultants. This is one of the missions of Innovate2Dredge.

DREDGING CONSULTANCY - AFTER PROJECT EXECUTION
Most of the dredging projects don't turn out as they have been estimated. The reasons are multiple:
​
  • wrong dredging production assessment during tender phase
  • incorrect or insufficient soil data in tender phase
  • unpredictable problems arising during project execution
  • variations during project execution
​
This will come at a cost and after project execution, this needs to be settled by the different parties involved in the project.
​
Based on the thorough theoretical and practical knowledge of dredging, Innovate2Dredge can give technical assistance during the settlement of such situations. This assistance can start during and after completion of the project:
​
  • during the project: gathering all the necessary data to build a correct case before the settlement discussions start
​
  • after the project: give technical assistance during the settlement discussions
