DREDGING & DREDGED MATERIAL DISPOSAL
Coast & Harbor Engineering (CHE) personnel have extensive expertise with dredging projects for deepening harbors and waterways, sediment clean-up, shoreline restoration/enhancement and the mining industry. CHE 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, CHE 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 |
