Can a preliminary model describe CSD spillage due to centrifugal advection?

Depending on its size and installed power, a Cutter Suction Dredger is capable of cutting a wide range of soil types. Although precise and relatively efficient, a CSD can spill significantly. The authors propose a preliminary model which describes spillage due to centrifugal advection.

Can a lake’s ecology be restored with unwanted sediment?

In collaboration with the Natuurmonumenten (the Dutch Society for the Preservation of Nature), Boskalis constructed the Marker Wadden. The archipelago situated within the Markermeer enables processes which revitalise the natural ecology.

How navigable are fluid mud layers?

Safe navigation through ports and waterways is determined by the space available under a ship's keel, but a seabed of fluid mud can get in the way.

Is high quality sediment monitoring worth its weight in gold?

Dredging activities often result in the suspension of sediment into the water column in the vicinity of the activity. Sediment release to the aquatic environment and the effects of this release are often the prime environmental concern associated with dredging.

Sediment Transport and Sediment Management in the Elbe Estuary, Germany

To manage costs and the long-term effects of dredging in highly dynamic estuarine areas, continued scientific research, modelling and analysis are indispensable.

Remediation of Contaminated Sediment: A Worldwide Status Survey of Regulation and Technology

Remediation projects are becoming more frequent: Here’s a snapshot of the current state of the industry, including which countries at present have a regulatory framework and/or technical framework in place (and which do not), and what technologies are actively being used.

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.

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.
