Typical inputs for a hopper system include DGPS, ship’s gyro, and a bubbler system that provides forward/aft draft information and depth information at one or two points on each ladder arm.ĭREDGEPACK® is being used on many excavator operations. DREDGEPACK® integrates to several commercially available inclinometers, or can read existing equipment using OPC Network interfaces or analog/digital cards.įor a hopper dredge, DREDGEPACK® also needs to be able to determine the exact draft of the vessel. You’ll also be able to see the channel design depth and channel over depth in profile view.ĭredging plans can be simple channels or complex surfaces, as created in the ADVANCE CHANNEL DESIGN program.įor a cutter suction dredge, typical inputs to DREDGEPACK® are a directional DGPS and an inclinometer to determine the angle of the ladder arm. You’ll be able to see exactly where your digging tool is in plan view and in profile view. DREDGEPACK® will monitor the exact position and depth of the digging tool and keep track of an ‘As Dredged’ surface.
Your survey data can come from single beam data, multibeam data or multiple transducer data. Using tools in DREDGEPACK®, your SURVEY data is loaded into a color coded matrix.
DREDGEPACK® is designed to work with cutter suction, hopper, bucket and excavator operations. HYPACK founder Pat Sanders demonstrates how to create a new project in HYPACK 2015, including how to set up geodetic parameters and import background charts. It keeps your crew working in the dredge cut and prevents them from wasting time and money by digging too deep or outside the channel. The software lies within Photo & Graphics Tools, more precisely 3D Design. This tool was originally produced by HYPACK, Inc. Hypack2013.exe is the frequent file name to indicate the HYPACK 2013 installer. The most popular versions of the HYPACK 2013 13.1 and 13.0. DREDGEPACK® is designed to save you money. HYPACK 2013 13.1 is free to download from our software library.
