Dredging activities in Port Hedland with four DPP700 pumps
For a large-scale project in Port Hedland, Australia Van Heck provided temporary pump capacity for dredging an existing port and constructing new port terrain.
For this international dredging project, four powerful DPP700 pumps were used. The installation was completed with manifolds, a workshop container, and an extensive stock of spare parts. This ensured not only the required pump capacity was available but also the technical support needed to keep the installation reliably operational throughout the project.
Four DPP700 pumps for a large-scale dredging project
For the project, the following were used:
- 4 × DPP700 pumps
- Manifolds for optimal distribution and connection of pump capacity
- Workshop container for maintenance and technical support
- Spare parts and extras for maximum operational reliability
The combination of high-quality pumps, practical facilities, and a complete set of spare parts ensures that the installation is prepared for long-term deployment under demanding conditions.
Strict Australian requirements for imported equipment
Transporting equipment to Australia requires careful preparation. The Australian government imposes strict requirements on imported work equipment and requires that equipment is completely free from biological contamination.
Therefore, all equipment was extensively inspected and cleaned at Van Heck's location prior to transport. The preparation was successful, and Van Heck received compliments for the exceptionally good condition in which the equipment was presented for inspection.
Ready for international deployment
A project in Australia demands more than just the right pump. Good preparation, reliable equipment, and sufficient technical support are essential when equipment is deployed thousands of kilometers from home base.
With four DPP700 pumps, a complete technical setup, and carefully prepared equipment, Van Heck was fully ready for the operations in Port Hedland.
