High-Quality. Zero Maintenance. Highly Efficient.
Experience the strength, durability and versatility of EDDY Pump HDPE Dredge Pipes. They are designed to fit all projects under the toughest conditions and maximize dredging efficiency.
The primary purpose of these pipes is to transport dredged material, such as sand, gravel, or slurry, from the dredging site to the designated location, such as a disposal area or a reclamation site. These pipes are typically large in diameter to accommodate the high volume of transported material. The smooth interior of these pipes allows for efficient flow and reduces frictional losses during transportation.
These pipes are known for their lightweight construction, making them easier to handle and install than traditional materials like steel. They are also resistant to biological growth and have a long service life, reducing the need for frequent maintenance or replacement.
Here is some information on these pipes, including installation and advantages over other types of lines for pumping and dredging:
Manufacturers produce these pipes through extrusion, wherein molten HDPE material is forced through a die, shaping it into the desired pipe form.Depending on the application requirements, they are available in various sizes and dimensions.
Depending on the project and environmental conditions, these can be installed using different methods. Some standard installation techniques include:
These pipes offer several advantages in dredging applications. Here are some of the critical benefits of using these pipes in dredging:
Dredging involves the movement of abrasive materials such as sand, gravel, and sediment.HDPE pipes are highly resistant to abrasion, ensuring they can withstand the harsh conditions of dredging operations without significant wear or damage. This qulaity increases durability and reduces the need for frequent pipe replacement or repair.
These pipes are highly resistant to corrosion, even in environments with high levels of saltwater or chemical exposure. This feature makes them ideal for dredging applications where pipes are in contact with corrosive substances. The corrosion-resistant nature of these pipes helps maintain their structural integrity and prolong their lifespan.
The pipes are flexible, allowing them to accommodate ground movement, waves, and other dynamic forces during dredging activities. Their flexibility reduces the risk of pipe damage and failure caused by external stresses and actions. This flexibility is particularly advantageous in marine and coastal dredging projects.
HDPE pipes have inherent buoyancy due to their low specific gravity. This property makes them naturally buoyant and enables them to float on water, reducing the need for additional flotation devices or supports. The floatability of these pipes simplifies the installation process and provides cost savings for equipment and labor.
These pipes are lightweight compared to other types used in dredging, such as steel pipes. This characteristic makes it easier to handle, transport, and install. The reduced weight simplifies logistics, minimizes installation costs, and facilitates quicker deployment of dredging operations.
Long lengths of these pipes, often up to 50 meters or more, can be manufactured, depending on the diameter requirements. Longer pipe lengths minimize the joints required in the dredging pipeline system. Fewer joints reduce the risk of leaks, enhance structural integrity, and improve overall operational efficiency.
HDPE pipes’ durability, longevity, and low maintenance requirements contribute to their cost-effectiveness in dredging projects. They offer reduced lifecycle costs compared to other pipe materials due to their resistance to abrasion, corrosion and the need for fewer repairs and replacements over time.
Overall, using HDPE pipes in dredging applications provides significant durability, flexibility, corrosion resistance, buoyancy, and cost-effectiveness advantages. These benefits make HDPE pipes preferred for various dredging operations, including harbor maintenance, channel dredging, land reclamation, and beach nourishment projects.
EDDY Pump also offers these HDPE Dredge Pipes already fused with Bauer Fittings. This featuresignificantly reduces the installation timeby not needing to weld and cut the dredge pipeonsite.
When installing HDPE dredge pipes, there are two main methods: using pre-fabricated fittings or fusing the lines onsite. There are huge advantages of installing HDPE dredge pipes with fittings compared to combining onsite:
Pre-fabricated fittings provide added flexibility in the installation process. Fittings allow for more accessible modifications or changes in the pipeline layout during installation or future system expansions. This flexibility is beneficial when dealing with complex or changing project requirements.
Installing dredge pipes with fittings can save time and labor compared to onsite fusion. Pre-fabricated fittings enable convenient connection of the pipes through mechanical means, such as flanges or compression fittings. This can lead to faster installation and reduced labor costs.
Using pre-fabricated fittings can be advantageous when working on retrofit or repair projects. It allows for easier integration with existing piping systems or connections to different materials, such as transitioning from HDPE to other pipe materials or joining pipes of different sizes or types.
Onsite fusion requires specialized fusion machines and accessories, which can be costly to purchase or rent. Using pre-fabricated fittings eliminates the need for fusion equipment, reducing equipment costs and the complexity associated with fusion operations.
Onsite fusion requires favorable weather conditions, as extreme temperatures, high humidity, or adverse weather can affect the fusion process. With pre-fabricated fittings, the installation is not as dependent on weather conditions, ensuring more consistent and reliable installation regardless of environmental factors.
Pre-fabricated fittings are manufactured under controlled conditions, ensuring consistent quality and performance. Each fitting undergoes rigorous testing and quality control processes, assuring their integrity and reliability. Onsite fusion, while effective when done correctly, may be subject to human error or inconsistencies if not performed by trained professionals.
For non-permanent dredging projects involving 100,000 cubic yards or less of material, a fused dredge pipe is an ideal choice due to its cost-saving benefits during installation and demobilization and its more straightforward installation process.

Overall, HDPE dredge pipes offer several advantages for dredging operations, including high durability, chemical resistance, lightweight design, and low maintenance requirements. These features contribute to the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of dredging projects.
HDPE stands for High-Density Polyethylene, a type of plastic commonly used for pipes and fittings in various applications, with dredging and pumping slurry being one of the most common and best. HDPE pipes are known for their durability, strength, and versatility.
HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) Dredge Pipe is designed explicitly for dredging operations. Dredging removes sediment, debris, or other materials from bodies of water, such as rivers, lakes, or harbors, to create or maintain navigation channels, waterways, or ports.
HDPE Dredge Pipes are made from high-density polyethylene, a durable and flexible thermoplastic material.HDPE has excellent resistance to abrasion, corrosion, and chemical reactions, making it well-suited for use in harsh environments, including marine applications.
