An efficient tool for environmental control in dredging operations
Environmental management and monitoring programmes are essential for identifying and mitigating adverse impacts that dredging activities may have on the environment. However, it is not always feasible, especially for the client, to have the necessary tools to conduct these tasks adequately, whether due to cost constraints or limited information availability. The use of the Automatic Identification System (AIS), as an efficient and cost-effective monitoring method in dredging projects, can lead to significant improvements in project environmental management. In cases involving trailing suction hopper dredgers (TSHD), this tool allows for equipment tracking, verifying the proper use of contract-approved areas and additionally estimating daily production values through a simplified method.
A Guide to Cost Standards for Dredging Equipment 2024
A joint venture between IADC and CIRIA, the publication A guide to cost standards for dredging equipment 2024 offers a benchmark to establish the capital and related costs of various types of dredging plant and equipment commonly in use within the industry.
