Nu Ultra Cutter Suction Dredge
The Nu Ultra Cutter Suction Dredge is a Neumann Series 350 Series dredge built by Neumann Equipment in the 1980s. Since then, it has undergone numerous refurbishments, upgrades and improvements. The operational expertise built on our contract dredging experience enables us to improve our equipment constantly. This culture of innovation gives us the leading edge as dredging contractors of choice.
The Nu Ultra has spent most of its life working at Corridor Sands. The pump was downgraded to suit the sand plant’s required input of around 250m3 per hour. However, it has been a very reliable dredge and has a well-earned reputation for performance and reliability in mining and resource dredging.
The dredge is demountable and can be cost-effectively transported to remote sites around Australia and overseas. This dredge has proven to be a safe and cost-effective method on mine sites for the relocation or reprocessing of tailings.
The Nu Ultra Cutter Suction Dredge has been successfully used to remove sand, gravels, clays, muds, silts, and slimes.
In harbour and river works, where the cutters might encounter a variety of natural and dumped materials, Neumann dredges have proven their versatility.
Neumann’s extensive dredging experience also makes our dredges highly suited for various material types often encountered in flood prevention and environmental rehabilitation works.
The Nu Ultra has worked on the following Projects:
