Dredging for Sustainable Infrastructure

The elective Dredging for Sustainable Infrastructure consists of 11 themes:

- History of dredging technology supporting hydraulic infrastructure.

- Workability of dredging and offshore operations.

- Equipment for maintenance and capital dredging.

- Dredging processes: breaching, cutting theory, hydraulic transport, hopper sedimentation, bed agitation, and bed levelling.

- Source to impact: processes and source terms.

- Environmental impacts: turbidity, sound, and emissions.

- Assessment of dredging-induced turbidity.

- Assessment of energy consumption during dredging activities and CO2 emissions.

- Land Reclamation by hydraulic filling.

- Survey, environmental monitoring, adaptive management.

- Dealing with uncertainties.

- Data science for dredging practices.
