Definitions

  • the invention relates to a dredging head which is configured to form a trench in an underwater bottom.
  • the invention likewise relates to a dredging device comprising the dredging head, and a method for forming a trench in an underwater bottom while making use of the dredging head.
  • the forming of a trench in an underwater bottom is for instance usual when arranging cables, conduits or other elongate objects in an underwater bottom.
  • a known device for forming a trench in an underwater bottom is described for instance in WO 01/92650 A1 . Described herein is a remotely operated vehicle, or ROV, which in use travels over an underwater bottom. A series of water jets arranged on an outward foldable arm fluidize the underwater bottom, whereby a trench is formed in which a cable or other elongate object can then be arranged.
  • the known trench-forming vehicle can operate reasonably accurately, although production (or forward progress) is relatively slow, among other reasons because the vehicle moves over the underwater bottom and the supplied power is relatively low.
  • a trench formed in a sandy bottom with the known vehicle is in addition problematic.
  • a trench formed in a sandy bottom has a gentle degree of natural slope, for instance about 1/3 (1 m in vertical direction and 3 m in horizontal direction).
  • Required for this purpose is a vehicle with a width which far exceeds 15 m (making allowance for the caterpillar tracks and a safe distance to the formed trench). Such a vehicle is not easy to make and operate.
  • ploughing devices which are pulled on a tow cable behind a vessel over an underwater bottom and form a V-shaped trench therein. Such devices are lacking in accuracy since the plough is generally a great distance away on the underwater bottom and route corrections therefore take effect slowly. Great power is in addition generally necessary because the plough must push the bottom material laterally and upward. A plough must also have considerable dimensions in the case of a sandy bottom with a gentle degree of natural slope. The plough cannot adapt sufficiently well in the case of varying types of ground. A device and method according to the prior art are disclosed in WO2013/174932A1 .
  • the present invention has for its object, among others, to provide a dredging head for forming a trench in an underwater bottom with an improved accuracy and efficiency compared to the known device, particularly also in bottoms comprising clay.
  • the dredging head according to the invention comprises for this purpose a dredging head according to claim 1.
  • the dredging head for forming a trench in an underwater bottom comprises a connecting part for connecting to a suction-blow conduit of a dredging vessel to be moved in a dragging direction, and a visor for pivoting around a horizontal axis running transversely of the dragging direction with an opening facing toward the bottom for taking up bottom material dislodged by a lower edge of the visor, wherein the dredging head further comprises a discharge device for the dislodged bottom material, which discharge device comprises an inlet for the bottom material connecting to the opening of the visor and at least one outlet which is configured such that during movement in the dragging direction the bottom material can be discharged to at least one lateral side of the formed trench.
  • a dredging head allows a trench to be formed in efficient manner in an underwater bottom.
  • the invention provides for this purpose a method wherein the invented dredging head is connected to a suction-blow conduit of a dredging vessel, a dredge pump of the dredging vessel carries water through the suction-blow conduit in the direction of the dredging head and the dredging head is moved over the underwater bottom in a dragging direction along an intended route of the trench, wherein an opening of the visor of the dredging head facing toward the bottom takes up bottom material dislodged by a lower edge of the visor and, via the inlet of the discharge device connecting to the opening of the visor, discharges this material to the at least one outlet of the discharge device which is configured such that during movement in the dragging direction the bottom material is discharged to at least one lateral side of the formed trench.
  • Discharge of the dislodged bottom material to one or both lateral sides is realized in that the suction-blow conduit of the dredging vessel blows water through the dredging head, wherein the dislodged bottom material is entrained in the water flow and via the discharge device comes to lie adjacently of the formed trench.
  • the dredging head according to the invention is accurate, among other reasons because steering adjustment can be made relatively quickly and, if desired, it can be (temporarily) removed from the bottom. Relatively little power is moreover required, among other reasons because the dislodged bottom material is immediately carried away from the dredging head. This reduces the ground resistance.
  • the distance over which the dislodged bottom material is blown away can also be controlled by regulating the flow rate of the water flow through the suction-blow conduit, for instance from the bridge of the vessel. This makes the dredging head particularly suitable for use in varying types of ground because the dredging head itself need not be adapted. This makes forming of a trench much more flexible.
  • the formed trench can be filled in efficient manner by moving the bottom material discharged and heaped on at least one lateral side into the trench with an apparatus suitable for the purpose, such as a bulldozer.
  • an apparatus suitable for the purpose such as a bulldozer.
  • the formed trench is provided with the object prior to filling thereof.
  • the dredging head is connected to a suction-blow conduit of a dredging vessel, for instance a trailing suction hopper dredger.
  • the dredging head is provided in known manner with a visor which can be rotated between a lowered and a raised position around an axis running transversely of a dragging direction.
  • the visor has a suction opening facing toward the bottom for suctioning up bottom material dislodged by a lower edge of the visor.
  • the dredging head connected to the suction-blow conduit is lowered underwater and dragged in the lowered position in a dragging direction of the trailing suction hopper dredger over the bottom for dredging, wherein bottom material is dislodged.
  • the dislodged bottom material is generally suctioned away with a quantity of water to a bin of the dredging vessel by the suction-blow conduit connected to a dredge pump.
  • the flow through the suction-blow conduit is switched from a suctioning position to a blowing position, wherein water is pumped through the suction-blow conduit in the direction of the dredging head.
  • This can for instance take place with hydraulic controls in the suction-blow conduit.
  • An embodiment of the invented dredging head has the feature that the discharge device comprises two outlets which are configured such that during movement in the dragging direction the bottom material can be discharged on both lateral sides of the formed trench.
  • the bottom material deposited on one or both lateral sides is preferably situated in the immediate vicinity of the formed trench. This is understood to mean a distance adjacently of the trench of a maximum of 20 times the trench width, more preferably a maximum of 15 times the trench width, still more preferably a maximum of 10 times the trench width and most preferably a maximum of 5 times the trench width.
  • Another embodiment according to the invention provides a dredging head wherein the discharge device is connected for pivoting around a horizontal axis running transversely of the dragging direction to the connecting part or the suction-blow conduit.
  • This embodiment allows adjustment of the angular position of the discharge device, in particular the angular position of the at least one outlet of the discharge device, relative to the horizontal plane. It hereby becomes possible to determine the distance adjacently of the trench at which on average the excavated bottom material comes to lie during forming of the trench. It is also possible to connect the discharge device for pivoting around a horizontal axis running parallel to the dragging direction to the connecting part or the suction-blow conduit.
  • the discharge device is attached, preferably rigidly, to the visor or forms a part of the visor.
  • the angular position of the discharge device can hereby be adjusted together with the angular position of the visor.
  • a further embodiment of the invention provides a dredging head wherein at least one of the connecting part, the visor and the discharge device is connected for pivoting around a vertical axis to the suction-blow conduit or the connecting part.
  • a connection allows at least one of the connecting part, the visor and the discharge device to rotate in a horizontal plane during forming of the trench. This enhances the accuracy of the route being followed.
  • Under the influence of current and waves a dredging vessel will generally follow a route which varies to some extent from a desired route. Because the dredging head is connected via the suction-blow conduit to the dredging vessel, the route followed by the dredging head depends on the route of the dredging vessel.
  • the present embodiment allows, within limits, the route of the dredging head to be made independent of the route of the dredging vessel.
  • the actuators with which at least one of the connecting part, the visor and the discharge device can be pivoted around a vertical and/or a horizontal axis preferably comprise hydraulic cylinders, piston rods of which engage on a wall part of the respective component for controlling, and the cylinder housing of which engages on a fixed wall part, for instance of the suction-blow conduit.
  • the wall part can be moved by extending or, conversely, retracting the movable cylinder rod.
  • the connecting part for instance can thus be rotated in a horizontal plane by retracting a piston rod arranged on port side on an upper wall part of the connecting part (as seen in upstream direction) so that the dredging head is moved more to port side. It is for instance also possible to carry the discharge device to a raised position by retracting a piston rod arranged on an upper wall part of the discharge device, or to move it in the direction of a lowered position by extending the piston rod.
  • the route followed by the dredging head can further be set more precisely by providing a dredging head in an embodiment which further comprises a steering fin which extends in the dragging direction and which is configured to penetrate into the underwater bottom.
  • a steering fin produces a reaction force in the underwater bottom with which the dredging head can be steered more effectively in a desired direction.
  • a practical embodiment of the dredging head is characterized in that an underside of the connecting part comprises one or more steering fins.
  • Such steering fins can for instance comprise a number of plates welded to the underside of the connecting part, preferably parallel to each other.
  • Yet another embodiment according to the invention provides a dredging head wherein the lower edge of the visor comprises at least two series of cutting tools for penetrating into the bottom, wherein each series extends along a line transversely of the dragging direction, and wherein the cutting tools of a first series penetrate less deeply into the bottom than the cutting tools of a second series located downstream relative to the first series.
  • a relatively deep trench to be formed in the underwater bottom in one pass of the dredging head, wherein the first series of cutting tools forms a trench to a first depth, which first depth is further deepened to a greater second depth with the second series of cutting tools.
  • the geometry of the cutting tools can for instance be adapted here to the ground condition.
  • the depth to which the first and second series of cutting tools can be inserted can be selected within broad limits. Suitable excavating depths for each series depend on, among other factors, the ground condition and can amount for instance to between 10-80 cm, more preferably to between 20-70 cm and most preferably to between 30-50 cm.
  • the connecting part comprises two lateral walls and the walls are provided with laterally extending blades.
  • These blades preferably have a concave front surface, wherein the front surface faces in an upstream direction during forming of the trench.
  • a side edge of the blades preferably runs obliquely upward, this such that the blades widen in upward direction.
  • a trench is hereby obtained which widens a little from the bottom upwards. Such an upward widening trench section allows the suction-blow conduit to be placed at an angle in the trench, whereby the dredging head can better follow a desired route.
  • the discharge device can in principle take any form as long as it comprises an inlet for the bottom material connecting to the opening of the visor, and one or more outlets.
  • a suitable embodiment comprises a box-like holder body, an end surface of which connects to the opening of the visor.
  • the holder body On another side the holder body comprises one or more spout-like outlets which are oriented in lateral direction relative to the formed trench (or a vertical central plane of the dredging head).
  • the dredging head is particularly suitable for forming a relatively narrow trench.
  • An embodiment of the dredging head is characterized for this purpose in that it has a width transversely of the dragging direction of a maximum of 3 m, more preferably a maximum of 2.5 m, still more preferably a maximum of 2 m and most preferably a maximum of 1 m.
  • the invention likewise relates to a dredging device for forming a trench in an underwater bottom, comprising a dredging vessel configured for movement in a dragging direction and a dredging head according to the invention connected to a suction-blow conduit of the dredging vessel.
  • An embodiment of the dredging device comprises control means for controlling the dredging head, in particular for controlling the position of the dredging head.
  • the dredging head or components of the dredging head are for this purpose preferably connected for pivoting around a horizontal and/or vertical axis running transversely of the dragging direction to a fixed component, for instance the suction-blow conduit.
  • the pivoting connections are controlled in embodiments by an actuator, preferably a hydraulic cylinder, wherein the control means are configured to control the actuators.
  • Such control means are per se known and are for instance used in the known trailing suction hopper dredger to adjust the angular position of the visor relative to the horizontal plane.
  • a method for forming a trench in an underwater bottom with the dredging device is connected here to the suction-blow conduit of the dredging vessel, a dredge pump of the dredging vessel carries water through the suction-blow conduit in the direction of the dredging head and the dredging head is moved over the underwater bottom in a dragging direction along an intended route of the trench.
  • An opening of the visor of the dredging head facing toward the bottom takes up bottom material dislodged by a lower edge of the visor and, via the inlet of the discharge device connecting to the opening of the visor, discharges this material to the at least one outlet of the discharge device which is configured such that during movement in the dragging direction the bottom material is discharged to at least one lateral side of the formed trench.
