Book Description
The lack of a programmatic or systematic approach to the demonstration, evaluation, and reporting of new or innovative applications of dredging technology in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers dredging program has lead to a study of the state of the practice worldwide. Innovative dredging technology in the context of this study is defined as technology that is significantly better, cheaper, or faster than existing technologies, and that is not broadly applied due to limited knowledge or established standards within the engineering community. Initially, a literature review was used to identify the vast array of innovative technologies and categories of equipment and procedures pertaining to dredging operations with emphasis on European applications. Several hundred documents and technologies were researched pertaining to innovative dredging technologies and procedures. A series of site visits were made to several institutions, dredge contractors, port authorities, and project sites in Belgium, the United Kingdom, The Netherlands, and Germany. Over 176 technology fact sheets were prepared and each fact sheet contains the following types of information about that technology: technology name, category, description, company/organization, projects completed, information sources, and literature references.

Book Description
Authoritative, up-to-date guide to dredging theory and practice. From selecting the right equipment, to evaluating environmental impact, to bidding on a project, Handbook of Dredging Engineering, Second Edition, is the last word on modern hydraulic dredging. Edited by John B. Herbich, with contributions by well-know experts in the field, the Handbook examines basic fluid mechanics; dredge pumps; dredging equipment; sediment; pipeline transport of solids; dredging methods; disposal and placement of dredged material; numerical models for predicting the fate of dredged material placed in open water; environmental effects of dredging activities; instrumentation and automation; and project planning. This vital new edition covers major advances made over the last seven years. Three chapters are new to this edition: numerical models for predicting the fate of dredged material...subaqueous capping of contaminated sediment...and removal of contaminated sediments by dredging, with illustrative case studies.
