Automated Disposal Surveillance System (ADDIS)

Category:

Production Monitoring

Description:

SAIC has developed a state-of-the-art, low-cost system for accurate monitoring of scow position

and draft during (1) loading at the dredging site, (2) transit, and (3) disposal, regardless of

location. Data can be acquired in near real-time via ARGOS satellite or during service trips to the

scow(s). SAIC also offers full data processing, GIS mapping services, and Graphical User

Interface systems to aid operations managers and regulatory agencies in rapid assessment of

disposal operations and information-based decision making. USACE has participated in

development of the ADDIS system, which is in operation at a number of Districts, including

NYDISS (New York Disposal Surveillance System), an automated unit for dredged material

disposal monitoring in the New York Harbor area.
