Method of Measuring and Managing Turbidity on Dredge Projects

Category:

Operating Procedures

Description:

Rijkswaterstaat is attempting to develop, with the aid of H.R. Wallingford and in cooperation with

some of the dredging contractors, a meaningful method of measuring and managing projects based

on the turbidity generated during dredging operations. They are interested in some joint efforts

with the United States as well as research done in the United States. The goal is to develop a good

predictive tool and an indication of what should be measured in the field for verification. Some

discussion was provided on what had been done in the United States on turbidity generation at the

dredge and some discussion on what could be provided, (IOMT reports on turbidity generation,

etc).
