DCI - Achieving Success Internationally

With a wide range of facilities and resources at its command, supported by an adequate complement of infrastructural facilities and a dependable base of know-how, DCI meets the dredging challenges not only in India but also in other countries.

In 1977, DCI was awarded a US $ 10 million contract for the management of Yanbu Construction Port on the Red Sea, 350 kms. E north-west of Jeddah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, for three years. DCI's services included pilotage, tugging, berthing, unberthing and mooring of ocean-going cargo ships, supervision of cargo-handling operations, maintenance and upkeep of port facilities and establishment of 0 & M services. In addition to this, DCI has efficiently performed stevedoring services at Yanbu Construction Support Port during 1981-83. During the period 2001-02 DCI executed shore pumping and reclamation works at Taichung Harber, Taichung Taiwan.

DCI has also been receiving enquiries for dredging in the Middle and South East.

Maintenance Dredging

Maintenance DredgingEvery Port or Harbour designed with certain designed navigable depth in it’s channel or water bodies for the safe entry and exit of ships. This depth will decrease due to deposition of sediments and other material by the influence of littoral drift, underwater currents, wave & tidal actions etc., in a course of time which varies from Port/Harbour to Port/Harbour and depends on rate of siltation. To restore it’s depth, removing the accumulated material is inevitable in most of the Ports & Harbours. The process of removing the accumulated material is called “Maintenance Dredging”.

DCI is fully equipped to cater to the maintenance dredging requirements of all major Ports in India.

Capital Dredging

Capital DredgingThe process of removing the “virgin” soil to create the designed depth in the water bodies/adjacent to water bodies is called “Capital Dredging”.

DCI is having two Cutter Suction Dredgers to meet he capital dredging requirements in the India/Abroad. A New Cutter Suction Dredger of 2000 Cu.M per hr dredging capacity will join the DCI fleet during Oct-2004

Beach Nourishment

Beach NourishmentThe coastal line in the beach is subject to deposition/erosion of sediments due to various reasons. However if the rate of erosion is more than rate of deposition, it is necessity to replace the quantity of erosion to maintain the coastal line intact. The process of deposition of sediments in the coastal line from the adjoining areas is called “Beach Noursihment”

DCI ‘s Dredge-XII and Dredge-XIV are capable of shore pumping up to 2400m and Dredge-XVI and Dredge-XVII are capable of shore pumping up to 2500m and rain bowing facility.

Reclamation

ReclamationThe process of raising the land level to create a artificial land either just below or adjacent to water bodies is called “Reclamation”. The fill material is generally used from the adjacent water bodies so as to improve the depth in the water bodies as well as to use to same for creation of land.

DCI’s Cutter suction Dredgers, Dredge-XII, Dredge-XIV, Dredge-XVI and Dredge-XVII are capable for reclamation purposes.
