Cutter Head

Origin: Cutter Suction Dredger Phoenix

Owner: Boskalis

 

A cutter suction dredger uses the cutter head to cut the soil before it enters the suction pipe. The cutter teeth are adjusted to the firmness of the soil. The sand is transported through flexible and steel pipelines to the disposal site. For the execution of Maasvlakte 2 cutter suction dredgers deepen the port basins and handle about 30 million cubic metres of sand.
