Dredging technology
Overview
The harbor construction of Rinkai Construction Co., Ltd. started with dredging seabed soil and using it for reclamation. Building and operating good dredger vessels were the key for successful works in the coastal construction. Rinkai Construction's technology in dredger vessels, which introduced large-pump dredgers, supported the Japan's high economic growth period. The company's dredging technology has developed with the times, currently being at a stage of performing clean dredging to contribute to produce bountiful sea.
Features
■ Environmental-responsive wide-grab bucket "SARA" ■
In recent years, dredging has been performed mainly for increasing or maintaining the depth of navigation channels or anchorages, or for removing the bottom mud to improve the sea environment. Dredging works face challenges on handling dredged material and on its impact to the surrounding environment. Our company, responding to the challenges, introduced and has been operating an environmental-responsive wide-grab bucket "SARA", enabling efficient and environment-friendly dredging works.
