EXCLUSIVE: New Water Injection Dredging installation from MOTAS

MOTAS Dredging Solutions has completed the design and construction of another Water Injection Dredging (WID) installation.

The scope of delivery includes the fabrication of jet arms, a hoisting gantry with swell compensator, hydraulic system and the jetwater pump sets.

According to MOTAS, all components have been finalised and all sections have been transported to the client’s shipyard in the Far East, where they were integrated into the vessel.

Water Injection Dredging (WID) is a dredging technique that removes sediment ‘the natural way’. It is an efficient and environmentally friendly way of maintaining the depth of navigation channels, ports and rivers.

A water injection dredger can work very close to embankments and quay walls because of the manoeuvrability of the vessel.
