Dredge pipelines operate in some of the harshest conditions in the industry. Suction assemblies must withstand extreme vacuum and continuous movement from pivoting ladder systems, while discharge lines transport abrasive slurry over long distances. Floating pipelines introduce additional challenges with wave motion, instability and float management.
Many operations rely on HDPE pipe or standard hose solutions due to lower upfront cost, however these systems often fail prematurely in abrasive dredging conditions. This results in frequent replacements, increased downtime and higher long-term operating costs.
A smarter approach is to use the right material in the right section of the dredge pipeline.
By strategically applying Abrasor dredge hose across suction, discharge and floating lines, operations can significantly improve wear life, stability and overall reliability.
Unlike conventional dredge pipelines that rely heavily on HDPE pipe, our dredge hose provides significantly greater flexibility and abrasion resistance.
Our proprietary Abrasatech liner delivers exceptional abrasion resistance in high solids slurry applications, reducing wear rates and extending pipeline service life compared to conventional dredge pipeline materials.
We design buoyancy systems around the operating conditions, incorporating self-floating hose or matches flotation collars with locking systems to maintain consistent pipeline elevation and reduce the risk of sections sinking, dragging or experiencing accelerated wear.
From trunnion hose with integrated steel hoops for extreme vacuum service through to double carcass floating hose designs, each construction is designed to manage the specific mechanical loads encountered in dredging operations.
Steel hoop reinforced dredge hose designed for maximum vacuum resistance in cutter suction dredging. Ideal for trunnions, pivoting ladder assemblies, and high movement suction applications.
Wire reinforced self-floating dredge hose with integral foam buoyancy for floating discharge pipelines requiring strength, flexibility, and abrasion resistance.
Soft wall non-wire reinforced dredge hose with integral foam buoyancy for floating discharge pipelines.
Hard wall dredge hose designed for use with external hose floats, featuring external locking collars to prevent float movement and maintain pipeline stability.
Heavy duty rotomoulded hose floats for use in conjunction with out Abrasor XD50-Series Dredge Hose.
If your dredge pipeline is wearing out too quickly or causing operational issues, our team can recommend the right combination of hose for your application.
