In mid September, a Damen CSD450 has start[ds_preview]ed winning sand at the Frisian motorway project contractor Van der Lee is working on. The ink on the sales contract was not even dry yet – it being signed recently.
The stock dredger was prepared for transport and towed to the north of the Netherlands. The stationary dredger, type CSD450, is a standard Damen dredger. Various types of these standard dredgers are readily available from stock. According to Damen they are prepared for customisation through standard options, and can leave Damen’s Nijkerk yard in a very short time span – as was the case in this flash of lightning action for contractor Van der Lee.
The Dutch contractor Van der Lee is currently working on the motorway fly-over project near Joure, in the north of the Netherlands. This Damen CSD450 is their first stationary dredger. It will mine sand at a dredging depth between -2 m and – 6m, pumping it over a max distance of 6.5 kms using 3 booster stations – all equipped with Damen dredge pumps.
