Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2434061A1] The invention relates to a dredging device, comprising a dredging vessel and a dredge suction head connected to the dredging vessel and having a dredge suction opening. The dredge suction opening of the dredge suction head is provided with smooth edges and the dredging device comprises a measuring device for measuring the distance between the dredge suction head and the bottom. The invention also relates to a corresponding method, wherein the measuring device ensures that during dredging the dredge suction head is held at a distance from the bottom. The dredging device and corresponding method reduce the danger of damage to structures present in the bottom.
