Power 2+ Years of Zero Downtime in River Maintenance

Client Profile: - A specialized SME in inland waterway maintenance

Project Scope:Annual maintenance of a 15km urban river channel, managing mixed sediment including sand, mud, and debris

The Challenge

Before partnering with YongHong, the client struggled with:

• Frequent hose failures: Replacements needed every 6-8 months, leading to significant cost and disruption.

• Significant downtime: 3-5 days lost per replacement, impacting project timelines and efficiency.

• Inconsistent quality: Despite suppliers' claims about abrasion resistance, the hoses failed prematurely.

• Abrasive Material: The transported slurry contained various sizes of sand, rocks, and debris, which caused rapid wear on the internal hose lining.

• Variable Pressure: The pumps used to move the slurry created pressure spikes and fluctuations, stressing the hose materials.

The YongHong Rubber Solution: Tailored Dredge Discharge Hoses

Our approach focused on practical reliability and specialized hose engineering:

Precision-engineered durability: YongHong provided heavy-duty rubber dredge discharge hoses, specifically designed to withstand the harsh conditions of river maintenance.

These hoses featured a thick, highly abrasion-resistant inner liner, formulated to handle the client's specific slurry composition.

Reinforcement layers, using high-tensile textile cords and embedded steel wire, were incorporated to manage high pressures and prevent bursting.

The outer cover was made of weather and UV resistant synthetic rubber, to maximize the lifespan of the hose.

Material Science: The inner liner was constructed of a specialized high abrasion resistant rubber compound, with a hardness value measured to withstand the clients specific slurry.

Responsive supply chain: Quick delivery of right-sized batches, minimizing on-site storage and ensuring timely replacements when needed.

Transparent collaboration: Clear pricing and performance metrics, with detailed specifications provided for each hose type.

Technical Support: YongHong provided on site technical support to help optimize the clients pump pressure settings, in order to reduce wear and tear on the hoses.

Results That Speak

"YongHong understood exactly what we needed - hoses that outlast our project timeline without excessive costs. After two years, we're seeing only 20% wear on the inner liner, and their technical support helped optimize our pressure settings for maximum longevity." - Operations Manager from this project.
