Maintenance (after completion of the project)

Maintenance after completion of a dredging project will ensure the investment in the project is maximised by lengthening the lifetime of the project.

The Use of Engineered Sediments for Dyke Construction in the Flood Control Area of Vlassenbroek

By preparing material from maintenance dredging with selected additives, a protective dyke was constructed from 100% reused sediments.

Depth-Utilization Analysis for Estimating Economic Activity Supported by Dredging

The 2009 IADC Award for the Best Paper by a younger author evaluates how to prioritize channel maintenance dredging to ensure the safety and economic viability of waterborne transportation.

Possibilities of Minimising Sedimentation in Harbours in a Brackish Tidal Environment

By studying the different mechanisms of sediment movement, solutions were developed to reduce sedimentation in harbours, and thus reduce the need for maintenance dredging.
