Application of self-floating hose in artificial reclamation project

Self-floating hose is generally used together with steel pipes in artificial reclamation projects. The self-floating hose floats on the sea surface to transport the sediment to the coast. Immediately afterward, the steel pipe on the land is put into the designated area by the power of the pump, and finally, an artificial island is formed.

So how is the self-floating pipeline floating in the ocean is connected to the dredger? This is to mention the pontoon and quick coupling. The pontoon is to make the self-floating pipeline that has not been connected to the hull sufficiently conspicuous on the rough sea and convenient for positioning. The pontoon is sheathed on a section of pipe, and one end of the pipe is connected to the quick joint on the ship, and finally, the silt sucked by the cutter suction ship is transported out through the pipeline.
