DE Klop: In-house training for Manson Construction

DE Klop BV has successfully conducted an in-house training for Manson Construction, focused on the dredging-specific aspects of cutter suction dredgers.

This interactive training combined theory with practice, providing participants with a deep understanding of the various conditions in which cutter suction dredgers operate.

“The course, held at Manson’s office, offered a flexible approach allowing employees to participate without disrupting ongoing work. For those with more time, there was the opportunity to delve deeper into the theory and practice on the simulator,” said DE Klop.

All participants had ample opportunity to practice on the mobile cutter simulator, developed by DE Klop in collaboration with MSA and Control Lab. The simulator offered realistic scenarios, enabling participants to see how their actions affected different conditions.

Highlights of the training included a competition to achieve the highest production, with performances presented using the multiped (a tool developed next to the simulator to record and present performance and all parameters over time in an organized manner).

“Additionally, the tender competition in the final days, where participants in groups had to submit a dredging project tender, was considered very educational and challenging,” said the company.
