Internship Sediment Transport Circuit

Job description

We offer you an Ocean of Possibilities . Join our family. The role: The objective of the proposed internship is to review the characteristics (e.g. wear, corrosion and performance) of components subject to varying slurry pipe system conditions, such as flow, density, pressure and soil type. Key accountabilities: Dredging equipment is subject to harsh conditions. Exposure to maritime, saline environments is already demanding for most steel structures. In addition, the dredging process itself and the way the equipment is operated and maintained pose extra challenges to the design of the equipment. The RD&I department of Damen Dredging Equipment (DDE) owns an innovative sediment transport test circuit. The circuit simulates all conditions of transporting a sand/water mixture and can be used for dredge production estimations and wear predictions. The infinite circuit is intended to simulate the harsh conditions of a real dredge installation. The standard test pipe is a 8.0m long straight pipe section of ø250mm for the installation of components or prototypes to be tested in the dredge processes. Test projects envisaged to be carried out in the near future are a.o.: Details of above pro...
