When is an Escalation Clause Necessary? Dealing with Price Fluctuations in Dredging Contracts
Unexpected costs resulting from fluctuations in prices for raw materials,fuel and labour can add extra financial risks for dredging contractors and clients.
Which slurry transport regime should be used and why?
With five possible flow regimes to choose from for slurry transport, selecting just one can require consideration. Fortunately, one of these regimes has a simple criterion: a ratio of the particle diameter to the pipe diameter.
Will Ports Become Forts? Climate Change Impacts, Opportunities and Challenges
The Stanford University Policy and Engineering Responses to Sea Level Rise (SUPERSLR) project is examining various solutions and the constraints for worldwide ports which could face the challenges of sea-level rise all at roughly the same time.
