At September 16th 2020, we've met with another seasoned professional: Diederik Van Halsema. Diederik currently works as Fleet Manager for DC Dredging. We were interested to learn more about his work: the market of marine and fluvial aggregates, the technical management of seagoing dredgers, projects, challenges and opportunities for the future.
DC Dredging is a dredging and transport company for the construction industry. Its main sphere of activity encompasses dredging and the production of marine and fluvial aggregates, as well as different types of sand. They are part of de Belgium De Cloedt Group, with activities in exploitation, production and commercialization of a number of materials, such as sand, gravel, limestone and recycled construction materials, concrete, silt and cement. They also process contaminated soil, mineral waste and carrying out full soil decontamination projects on site.
From Breskens, they manage their own 7 sea-going Trailing Suction Hopper Dredgers: with hopper capacity ranging between 1600 m³ and 5450 m³. They operate their own quay and depots, as well as some sucking dredgers with disintegration, commonly called cutter, for the exploitation of sand pits.
