CDSR floating hose helps “Xin Hai Long” complete the reclamation project of Colombo Port

Near the port of Colombo, the capital of Sri Lanka, China's large dredger "Xin Hai Long" successfully completed its last sand blowing operation. Nearly 2.7 million square meters of land "broke out of the sea", this marks the achievement of phased success in this major land reclamation project. In this project, the large-diameter floating hoses manufactured by CDSR played a key role, this provides a reliable guarantee for efficient dredging and filling operations.

The advantages of floating hoses are obvious, which helps efficient dredging

CDSR floating hose has become an important conveying equipment in dredging projects due to its excellent flexibility and durability. This product can be independently connected into a complete pipeline to achieve efficient sediment transportation. It also has excellent buoyancy performance to ensure the smooth operation of the pipeline on the water surface. The CDSR floating hose is extremely flexible to use on water. It can be independently connected into a hose string for transportation, and can also be mixed with other steel pipes. 

 

Industry pioneer, technology leader

CDSR is a pioneer in the field of floating hose production in China. As early as 1999, it successfully developed floating hose and took the lead in trial use in Shanghai dredging project. It was recognized by customers for its outstanding performance. In 2003, CDSR floating hoses were put into use in batches in the Shanghai Yangshan Port New Port City reclamation project, and the first floating pipeline in China composed entirely of floating hoses was established. The complete success of this project has enabled the domestic dredging industry to quickly recognize the advantages of CDSR floating hose, which has led to its widespread promotion. Today, most of the dredging vessels in China are equipped with CDSR's floating hoses. 

Colombo project proves its strength

In the reclamation project of Colombo Port, the CDSR floating hose worked closely with the "Xin Hai Long" dredger to ensure the efficient transportation and precise filling of sediment. Faced with the complex offshore operating environment, the stability and wear resistance of CDSR floating hose were once again demonstrated, it provides a solid guarantee for the smooth progress of the project. 

Twenty years of innovation creates industry benchmark

From the banks of the Huangpu River to the Pearl of the Indian Ocean, the development trajectory of CDSR's floating hoses over the past 20 years is a vivid epitome of China's equipment manufacturing industry climbing the global value chain. As the "Xin Hai Long" sounds the whistle of completion, this "flexible Great Wall of the Sea" is about to head for new waters, continuing to write the legend of China's intelligent manufacturing conquering the deep blue.

 

The successful operation of the "Xin Hai Long" in the Port of Colombo not only demonstrated the strength of China's advanced dredging technology and equipment, but also highlighted the important role of CDSR dredging hose in large-scale sand blowing and reclamation projects. In more marine engineering construction in the future, CDSR products will continue to rely on its excellent performance to help various projects proceed smoothly and contribute to global marine development and construction.
