Texas
A cutter suction dredge simulator course is offered to demonstrate the fundamentals of hydraulic dredging using a cutter suction dredge. Basic concepts of cavitation, deposition of sediment in the pipeline, pipeline length limitations, pump power limitations, swing winch limitations, and other limitations are simulated. Different sediment conditions and channel currents are also simulated. A personal computer is interfaced to actual controls for a cutter suction dredge, and a training manual is provided.
