Vinnitsa Region in Ukraine acquired 2 dredgers for the clearing of water reservoirs in the region

At the end of December 2017, VVV-SPETSTEKHNIKA shipped two HCC 400/20-GR-F dredgers for clearing reservoirs in the Vinnytsia region.

One dredger was purchased by the Vinnytsia City Council for operations within the city. The second dredger will be used throughout the Vinnytsia region.

Both dredgers have a pulp productivity of 400 m³/hour and are capable of operating at depths of up to 8 m. The dredgers are equipped with a cutter ripper and a hydraulic jet system, allowing them to work with various types of soil and bottom sediments.

The delivery package also included slurry pipelines, anchors, and other auxiliary equipment.

The production and delivery of the dredgers were carried out according to the conditions of the tender previously won by our company. The total production time for each dredger was 2.5 months.

On January 3, First Deputy Head of the Regional State Administration Andrii Hyzhko, Director of the Finance Department Mykola Kopachevskyi, and Director of the Department of Agro-Industrial Development, Ecology, and Natural Resources Mykola Tkachuk visited the base of the Regional Fund for Promotion of Investments and Construction and inspected the dredger purchased for the needs of the region.

"Due to climate change, the issue of drinking water and irrigation water for agricultural land has become quite acute in recent years," commented Andrii Hyzhko. "There are 5,000 water bodies in the Vinnytsia region, as well as the Southern Bug and Dniester rivers with their tributaries. Environmental specialists assure that clearing the sources feeding these reservoirs will lead to higher water levels. We will also solve environmental problems and improve soil fertility."

The official emphasized that the equipment previously used for cleaning reservoirs had already exhausted its service life and could no longer be operated, which created the need to purchase new equipment.
