About dredging

There are few industrial activities today that involve such exposure to abrasion and consequent component wear as dredging.

Dredging equipment does its work in one of the most unforgiving environments in the world. The material to be dredged is almost always abrasive, sometimes extremely so; the high levels of production necessary mean high flow rates and huge stresses, and the working conditions do not favour simple solutions.

IHC Parts & Services has decades of experience in addressing this threat of wear with a range of proven solutions. The designs of products minimize the effects of wear; materials are of special composition and receive special heat treatment to optimize their hardness and toughness. Ideal part replacement stocks are calculated, fast delivery of parts is realized, and maintenance and repair is performed quickly; all to avoid vessel downtime.
