Manager Development Cutter Suction Dredgers
-
Jul 2012 - Dec 2014
Responsible for the product development of cutter suction dredgers at IHC Merwede. Aiming at the highest possible added value for our customers, by listening to their needs and watching the global technology progress, we have assembled an R&D program consisting of 3 main topics:- ‘performance’ dredging; developments improving the production capacity through more understanding of the excavation process, hydraulic transport, but also by increasing uptime in severe weather conditions- ‘economical’ dredging; developments reducing capital and operational costs, such as ease of maintenance, high efficiency drive trains .- ‘social’ dredging; developments for reducing the environmental impact during building and operation of our dredgers as well as increasing the health and safety for its crew.In general terms, all development projects have to match problems with solutions or vice versa. To do so we need both knowledge and creativity, since intelligence uses what is known to solve problems and creativity uses what is unknown to discover possibilities. Show less
