Dredging Phases
• 4 phases– excavation– lifting– transportation– disposal

Dredging Phases
• Excavation of the in-situ material by– cutter head– draghead– cutting edge of a bucket
• Main environmental aspects– Increase of suspended sediments– Mixing of soil layers– Dilution (in case of hydraulic dredging)

Dredging Phases
• Raising the material– mechanically backhoe, dipper, bucket ladder
dredger– hydraulically cutter suction, trailing suction
hopper, disc bottom, auger and sweep dredgers• Main environmental aspects
– Release of suspended sediments– Loose and mobile spill layers– Density of material– Overflow during loading of hopper or barges

Dredging Phases• Horizontal transport by
– hydraulic pipeline– hopper dredgers– barges– also: trucks or
conveyor belts
• Main environmental aspects– safety– dilution– spillage– noise and air pollution

Dredging Phases
• Placement or further treatment– reclamation of a site– beach nourishment– wetland creation– relocation on land, in a pit or at sea (underwater)
• Main environmental aspects– Occupation of space and surface– Dispersion of the deposited material– Noise and air pollution– Groundwater quality

Environmental Dredging• Often with normal equipment• Sometimes with adapted procedures• When required, with special tools
• Always resulting in lower output, higher costGuide 4: Machines, Methods and Mitigation
