Through the distributor Ace Centro Enterprises (ACE), Dragflow supplied two Dragflow dredging pumps to an international dredging contractor for coastal protection works in Fujairah – U.A.E.

The customer was looking for the best solution for the long-distance pumping of dredged sand into geo-pipes, within a complex coastal protection project.

The contractor was to install three layers of geotextile membrane pipes and fill them with sand along the coast for a stretch of 300 meters. The project required the use of heavy-duty submersible dredging pumps capable of producing a high content of sand to be pumped over the entire distance in the geotubes.

Based on the details of the project, ACE supplied two DRAGFLOW pumps to the construction site:

EL60B – 8 “electric dredging pump with a capacity of 350 m³ / hour.
HY85 / 160B – 10 “hydraulic dredging pump with a capacity of 460 m³ / hour.

ACE engineers and technicians managed the commissioning on site professionally and helped the customer connect the HY85 / 160B to the Komatsu PC 400LC long arm excavator.

The coastal protection project started and took place quickly thanks to the correct choice of equipment.
