COASTS & PORTS has the backhoe dredger Pat-M, a self-propelled boat designed and equipped to carry out dredging works with different seabed materials which makes its navigation, positioning and execution versatile.

The PAT-M is a backhoe dredger built by English and Dutch experts. It has a unique and special design with the objective of achieving maximum efficiency of the projects it executes.

This dredge is manned and operated by qualified personnel with extensive experience in the area and with its staff on board for more than 10 years. A combination of resources that provides trust and optimization of processes during the operation.

Many backhoe dredgers offering their services are built in artisan workshops using ordinary pontoons and quarry excavators designed for earthmoving works with their tracks fixed to the deck, without electronic screens or specialized instruments for marine or dredging activity.

In contrast to what is normally offered on the market, the backhoe dredger PAT-M has state-of-the-art technological tools and equipment designed for works and services in marine conditions, thus guaranteeing quality and efficiency to our customers.

The crew, who works on the PAT-M, keeps it operational 24 hours a day during the execution of each project, as it has a range of spare parts, tools and facilities necessary for any type of minor preventive or corrective maintenance, mpacting as little as possible on work performance.

The PAT-M has worked in many countries where it is impossible to buy parts or services from the coast.

The continuity of the work is achieved by having a minimum stock of spare parts stored in the tanks located in the same dredge.

This warehouse has all the necessary parts to repair the excavator: motors, hydraulic pumps, hydraulic cylinders, electronic parts, pipes, bearings, pins, teeth, buckets, motors, radiators, among others; Is an excavator with a complete stock of spare parts.

The backhoe dredger Pat-M has a precise positioning and control system which allows the interface to a powerful software for the daily control of dredging operations; Created especially for these type of boats. This allows operators, boat captains, dredging engineers and clients to visualize a real-time and three-dimensional (3D) dredging work.

With the control systems installed on board which are instruments for the inspection, evaluation and revision of the guidelines described for each project, allows the deviations that can occur to be minimized.

All this ensures that the dredging is carried out quickly and effectively, avoiding unnecessary corrections, reductions and shutdowns.
