The
countdown is on! If you work with dredging, mining or any hydraulic transport
system, now is the time to register for the Pumps ‘n Pipeline (PnP) Masterclass, taking place on 12-13 August 2026.
Only a Few Weeks to Go – Secure Your Place
There’s still time to secure your place in in2Dredging’s (i2D) Pumps ‘n Pipeline (PnP) Masterclass.
This intensive PnP Masterclass takes place over two interactive morning sessions of 3 hours each. The masterclass is ideal for engineers, estimators, project managers and dredging professionals. Participants will gain better understanding of hydraulic transport systems and learn how to confidently apply that knowledge to real-world projects.
If you want to deepen your understanding of pumps, pipelines and soil-like mixtures, this masterclass is for you. It provides practical knowledge that you can immediately apply to engineering and operational challenges. The course combines engineering theory with practical field experience and hands-on use of i2D’s PnP tool.
Go Beyond the Pump Curve
Successful hydraulic transport requires much more than selecting a pump. Throughout the PnP Masterclass you will learn how to evaluate complete hydraulic systems, including:
- Pump characteristics and operating limitations
- Pipeline pressure losses and flow regimes
- Soil and mixture properties that influence dredging productivity
- Suction and discharge production estimation
- Practical interpretation of PnP modelling results
- Common operational risks and methods to improve efficiency and reliability
Drawing on both engineering theory and extensive field experience, the course focuses on practical solutions rather than purely academic concepts. You will learn how to critically assess modelling results, optimise hydraulic transport systems. This will enable you to make informed engineering decisions that improve dredging productivity.
Presented by the Developer of PnP
The Pumps ‘n Pipeline (PnP) Masterclass is presented by Simon Burgmans, founder of in2Dredging and developer of Pumps ‘n Pipeline. Drawing on more than 20 years of international experience across dredging, mining and offshore engineering, Simon combines technical expertise with practical lessons from projects around the world.
Reserve Your Place Today
The PnP Masterclass is available both online and in person at in2Dredging's Perth office. This flexible format allows participants from anywhere in the world to attend.
If you have been considering attending, this is the perfect opportunity to strengthen your understanding of hydraulic transport and improve your estimating capability. You will also gain greater confidence in analysing complete systems involving pumps, pipelines and soil-like mixtures to improve dredging productivity.
