![]() The CrossOver patented system deploys a Toyo dredge pump directly into the sediment by cable at a narrow angle. The pump and the barge are stabilized by a spud ranging in length from 40 to 60 feet. At depths greater than 30 feet – dredges can lose 50 percent of their production capacity, often requiring the use of ladder pumps at calculated intervals. Moreover, dredging at greater depths typically requires larger vessels, and longer ladders, increasing mobilization costs for inland dredging projects like dredging loading docks, sand and aggregate mining, and dam reservoir maintenance. ![]() Hydraulic dredges typically rely on a dredge pump in the hull or on the deck of the dredging vessel, which pumps the sediment through a rigid ladder. As a result, the dredge pumps relied upon by traditional dredges lose efficiency and production as depths increase because the sediment is further away from the pump that is trying to move it. Losing the ladder allows the CrossOver system's customer to remove depth and mobilization limitations presented by traditional dredges.ĭredges have been around since the Pharaohs of ancient Egypt. Hydraulic Dredging began in earnest in the 1800s with the invention of the centrifugal Dredge Pump. 9,988,789 on Jrelative to its CrossOver Dredge System. The CrossOver system is a hydraulic dredging system that is particularly unique because it has no ladder. CrossWorks is pleased to announce the issuance of U.S.
