Utilising the Full Potential of Dredging Works: Ecologically Enriched Extraction Sites
Rather than focus on minimising negative effects, ecologically designed sand mining can maximise positive opportunities to dredge and create new habitats.
Validation of the Tass System for Predicting the Environmental Effects of Trailing Suction Hopper Dredgers
Models created by researchers using innovative software have been tested and validated by monitoring trailers during dredging operations.
Safe Disposal of Dredged Material in a Sensitive Environment
A state-of-the-art 3D plume model, used at the Ras Laffan Port Expansion project, simulates alternative disposal scenarios and helps develop Safe Disposal Maps.
The Day After We Stop Dredging: A World Without Sediment Plumes?
To assess the environmental benefits of an “idyllic” world without dredging, the impacts of dredging activities are compared to the impacts of other human and natural sources of sediment plumes.
