DREDGING APPARATUS HAVING FLEXIBLE PIPE

摘要

PURPOSE: A dredging apparatus having flexible pipes is provided to prevent the blockage of suction and discharge pipes even in case of movement of the pipes because the suction or/and discharge pipes are formed of synthetic resin pipes. CONSTITUTION: A dredging apparatus comprises a dredger(10), a suction pipe(20), and a discharge pipe(30). The dredger collects soil from underwater bottom using a mechanical device including a pump for suction and discharge of soil. The suction pipe is extended from the dredger to the underwater bottom to suck soil. The discharge pipe is extended from the dredger to the ground to discharge the collected soil. The suction or/and discharge pipe are made of a synthetic resin pipe which is mainly composed of polyethylene.
