Take control of hydraulic transport performance and deliver better project outcomes.
i2D invites you to an exclusive Pumps 'n Pipeline Masterclass Antwerp following CEDA Dredging Days 2026. This high-impact, one-day course is designed for dredging and mining professionals ready to move beyond assumptions and make confident, data-driven decisions.
The Pumps 'n Pipeline (PnP) masterclass bridges theory and practice. It gives you a clear understanding of how pumps, pipelines and soil-like mixtures interact in real operations. As a result, you will learn how these interactions drive productivity, cost and risk across your projects.
Why Attend?
- Eliminate guesswork - Move beyond rough assumptions and accurately predict pumping performance and production limits
- Improve estimating confidence - Develop reliable, defensible production estimates that reduce uncertainty and support better planning and decision‑making
- Understand system behaviour - Learn how pumps, pipelines and mixtures interact to influence productivity.
- Reduce operational risk - By recognising issues like cavitation, inefficiencies and system mismatches early, before they impact your project
- Apply practical insights – Work through real-world scenarios using the PnP tool
- Build technical capability – Strengthen your ability to analyse, design and optimise hydraulic transport systems
PnP Masterclass Objectives
By the end of Pumps 'n Pipeline Masterclass Antwerp, you will be able to:
- Understand hydraulic transport fundamentals
- Explain how flow, head, power and operating points interact in pump - pipeline systems.
- Analyse pump and drive performance
- Interpret pump curves, efficiency, cavitation risks and drive type impacts on system performance.
- Evaluate pipeline behaviour
- Assess flow regimes, pressure losses, critical velocities and how pipeline design impacts productivity.
- Assess soil and slurry characteristics
- Understand how particle size, density, viscosity and non-Newtonian behaviour affect transport efficiency and achievable production.
- Predict realistic production rates
- Identify system bottlenecks and calculate system output under varying conditions.
- Use the PnP tool with confidence
- Examine input data, interpret outputs and validate estimates.
- Make informed decisions
- Translate technical understanding into improved design choices, cost control and project delivery outcomes.
