DREDGING & DREDGED MATERIAL DISPOSAL

Dredged Material Placement at West Bay Bird Island Coast & Harbor Engineering personnel have extensive expertise with dredging projects for deepening harbors and waterways, sediment clean-up, shoreline restoration/enhancement and the mining industry. Coast & Harbor personnel have proven long-term success working on dredging projects involving clean sediment and its beneficial use, as well as contaminated sediment capping, nearshore confined and upland disposal, and sediment decontamination processes. To ensure proper design for dredging and disposal of suitable and unsuitable sediment, Coast & Harbor specialists apply numerical models to evaluate the following processes:
  Fate of Sediment During Dredging Operations
  Fate of Dredged Material in Confined, Semi-Confined, and Un-Confined Disposal Sites
  Combined Dredged Material Transport Under Waves and Tidal Currents
  Turbidity During Dredging and Dredged Material Disposal
  Overflow Weir, Gander Boom, and Silt Curtain Performance
  Hydraulic and Mechanical Dredging Production Rates
  Hydraulic Pipeline Dredging Design
