In recent years, Chinese dredging companies have been actively taking pail in the domestic and foreign dredging market. They have built a large numbers of cutter suction dredgers, CSDs & trailer suction hopper dredgers, TSHDs with the Chinese dredging equipment makers developing and improving a lot.
When dredging hard cohesive soils such as clayey silt, mild clay and clay, traditional teeth such as chisel teeth can only penetrate to a shallow depth of the soil layer and bear more cutting resistance, which directly affects the dredging efficiency of the trailing suction hopper dredger. In order
