Dredge Performance Indicators for Monitoring Cutterhead Dredging Operations
Category:
Production Monitoring
Description:
Development of Dredge Performance Indicators (DPI) for measuring the productivity and
operating efficiency of cutterhead pipeline dredges as a function of time and location in the
project area.
The DPI consists of two components:
1) A modeling component, which predicts dredge efficiency and percent solids transported by the
dredge.
2) A field data acquisition component, which provides real-time data on actual solids transport
and dredge efficiency.
Dredge models and the DPI data from the production meter will provide immediate feedback and
historical data on cutterhead dredging operations. A PC, along with data acquisition hardware
and software, can be used to log the data, perform real-time data analysis, and produce tabular
and graphical reports as the dredge is operating. Case studies using the DPI have been carried
out. Historical DPI data will provide insight into dredge operating characteristics based on
project design criteria and aid in improving dredge process numerical models.
