Bakker Sliedrecht has replaced the sand pump drive of the cutter suction dredger (CSD) Huta 14.
The replacement of the sand pump drive was part of an extensive renovation project that was carried out in cooperation with Royal IHC.
Delivery of New Sand Pump Drive
Bakker Sliedrecht was responsible for the engineering, assembly, and commissioning of the sand pump drive that will improve the dredger's efficiency. The integration of the electrical system was executed on site in Saudi Arabia as technical documentation was not always available. In this way, a smooth installation process in a later stage was ensured.
The sand pump drive was assembled at the workshop of Bakker Sliedrecht in the Netherlands and then shipped to Saudi Arabia. The technical crews of Huta and Bakker Sliedrecht worked closely together to install the new sand pump drive on board the vessel. This included placing, connecting, and testing new cables and on site training of the Huta 14 crew.
Project Scope
Sand pump drive: Sand pump motor 2200 kW / Water-cooled frequency converter / Transformer / Cabling / Site engineering / Super vision
Integration of Three New Diesel Engines
During the renovation project, Royal IHC replaced three main diesel engines. Bakker Sliedrecht integrated them into the electrical system of the vessel.
