in2Dredging (i2D) is heading
to Antwerp for CEDA Dredging
Days 2026 (11 to 13 May), one of the flagship events in CEDA's global dredging calendar and a premier
gathering for industry leaders across EMEA.
But don’t leave straight away! Stay an extra day in
Antwerp and take your learning further with i2D’s Pumps ‘n Pipeline (PnP)
Masterclass, designed to keep you one step ahead.
Extend Your CEDA Experience
CEDA
brings together leading researchers and industry professionals from across the
global dredging community, providing a powerful forum to exchange ideas, tackle
challenges and build lasting connections.
But why stop there? i2D’s exclusive PnP Masterclass deepens your expertise, transforming conference insights into practical, real-world capability you can apply immediately.
Take Your Hydraulic Transport Knowledge Further
This one-day, high-impact masterclass is designed to sharpen your understanding of hydraulic transport systems and elevate the accuracy of your production estimates.
Built on i2D’s global project experience and advanced modelling capability, you will gain practical insights into how the following interact in real operating systems:
- Pump behaviour;
- Pipeline hydraulics; and
- Soil-like mixtures.
What You will Learn
Develop a clear and structured understanding of:
- Pump performance and selection, including pump curves, efficiency and operating limits
- Pipeline flow behaviour, covering flow regimes, and frictional and local pressure losses
- Soil-like mixture characteristics, including density, rheology and particle interactions
- Key drivers of suction and discharge production
- How flow, head, power and system resistance define operating points and productivity
Plus, you will learn how to apply the PnP tool to:
- Model system performance;
- Interpret results; and
- Support smarter, data-driven engineering decisions.
Who Should Attend
The PnP Masterclass is perfect for dredging and mining professionals looking to:
- Boost estimating accuracy and confidence;
- Better understand system behaviour and constraints; and
- Identify and mitigate risks associated with pumping soil-like materials.
Delivered by Industry Expertise
The masterclass will be led by Simon Burgmans, founder of i2D and developer of the PnP tool. His expertise blends strong engineering fundamentals with extensive field experience across dredging and mining projects worldwide.
