Dredging Technology Book 1: Lecture Notes Master Course CIE5300 (New 2021/2022 editions Dredging Techology Books)

By ir. G.L.M. van der Schrieck

This is the over 400 pages main book of a series of books on Dredging Technology. The book is written by an expert in Dredging Technology Engineering who was a senior member for many years of the user panel of the Joint Dredging Research Project at Delft Hydraulics and Delft University. The book is based on the Lecture Notes of his Master Course CIE5300 Dredging Technology at Delft University. This course reflects the scientific results of the Dutch Joint Research Project combined with the experience of the author in the Dredging Industry. The aim of the book is to give a broad insight in the many aspects of Dredging Projects, such as the Use of the Dredging Equipment and how to Optimize Production, The Cost Estimating and Survey aspects such as Positioning , Depth control and Tolerances. For better understanding of the possibilities and limits of the Dredging Production basic processes are being described such as: The Excavation of Sand, Clay and Rock and the Hydraulic Lifting and Transport of Soil Water Mixtures and Erosion and Deposition of Sand . For each of these Processes the Scientific Backgrounds are being given and practical formulas have been derived to use them in a design procedure. Based on this insight use of different Dredgers, such as the Cutter Suction Dredger and the Trailing Suction Hopper Dredge , in terms of Capacity, Work ability and Tolerances, has been given. There is an extensive glossary at the end of the book providing a quick way to find relevant information on different subjects The book will serve the engineer as an expert reference for more technical insight and will assist the communication when dealing with Operational and Contractual Issues such as Production , Design and Claims.
