Dredging – Surface treatments for extreme dredging conditions
In the dredging industry, equipment faces relentless exposure to saltwater, sand and high-impact forces. Operating both underwater and in open air these components endure a constant cycle of corrosion, abrasion and mechanical stress. Without effective protection equipment is exposed to corrosion and wear that reduce operational efficiency.
Technoplating Group understands the unique demands of dredging operations and supports the industry with advanced surface technologies that keep critical equipment performing at peak levels — even in the most aggressive marine environments.
Challenges in the Dredging Industry
Dredging components are dealing with:
❖ Severe abrasion from sand, silt and debris
❖ Saltwater corrosion under alternating submerged and dry conditions
❖ Impact loading from contact with seabed materials and debris
❖ Dimensional wear from continuous hydraulic movement
Parts like bottom door cylinders, spud hoist cylinders, drag head cylinders and overflow cylinders require coatings that combine extreme durability with high corrosion protection.
