GIS-group | AMPHIBEX SYSTEMS

The AMPHIBEX complexes are the floating ice-breaking platforms, welded from the special steel with anti-corrosion coating and consisted of a set of hermetic / sealed compartments for their enhanced survivability in critical situations. The most important and effective function of AMPHIBEX complexes is a dredger. The operations are carried out at depths of 0.0 - 12.5 m, and, if necessary, with the use of additional options - up to 17 m. The operation and extraction procedures of bottom sediments of Categories I-VI can be carried out at a distance of 1500 - 7000 m of the direct pumping.

The AMPHIBEX machines perform the functions of: a dredger, an excavator, an ice-breaker, an amphibious vehicle (an amphibia), as well as using special options which allow you to: drive piles, spall flag stones/stone slabs, clean the side slopes of irrigation ditch/ canal, lift sunken log from the bottom of rivers and reservoirs, lay cables and tubes/pipes of small-cross section, extinguish small and large fires, prevent flooding by breaking the ice up to 1 meter thick and so on. All AMPHIBEX models have a shallow draft and can move through water, at depths of 0.6 meters at a maximum speed of 15 km/h.

ADVANTAGES OF AMPHIBEX

● Excellent mobility:● High mobility makes it possible to save on logistics and change its location or deployment in the shortest possible time, which is indispensable within the conditions of natural and other technological (human-made) disasters. ● Automated loading and unloading system: - Deployment/closing down time up to 1 hour; - Transport speed up to 500 km/day.● Self-propellency: - Maximum speed through water (STW) - 15 km / h.; - Mobility on land and water (entering/leaving the reservoir).
● Operational and ecological compatibility:● High quality comfort and services: - The air-conditioned cabin, the cyclorama (360-degree panorama), the GPS navigation system, the Sounder, the RTK (Real Time Kinematic), the real-time bottom vision device offer all the comfort and visibility necessary for the operation of the amphibious general purpose excavator during long hours; - The computer with a licensed program and an adapter for complete control over the entire operation of the dredger; - RTK, laser device for real-time seabed relief; - Dredge Bucket-Positioning System to within 1cm.● Ecological / Environmental compatibility: ⁃ The unique dredging machine shows the indicator of water turbidity at the ratio of 25:1,000,000 conventional units (c.u), that doesn’t exceed the LOC for fresh/drinking water. This enables the dredger to operate the withdrawal of water in freshwater or technological reservoirs, for example, water-cooling ponds of NPGS without stopping the reactor; ⁃ The best facility for collecting blue-green algae (BGA) or cleaning water areas - from 100 to 500 t per hour worked, with cleaning up to 20 hectares of water reservoir per day (24 hours); ⁃ The sealed bucket allows to extract extremely hazardous and toxic substances; ⁃ All Amphibex models are equipped with the enhanced hydraulic system using the hydraulic fluid of environmental standard with vegetable-based fluid (plant oil).
