Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Authoritative, up-to-date guide to dredging theory and practice. From selecting the right equipment, to evaluating environmental impact, to bidding on a project, Handbook of Dredging Engineering, Second Edition, is the last word on modern hydraulic dredging. Edited by John B. Herbich, with contributions by well-know experts in the field, the Handbook examines basic fluid mechanics; dredge pumps; dredging equipment; sediment; pipeline transport of solids; dredging methods; disposal and placement of dredged material; numerical models for predicting the fate of dredged material placed in open water; environmental effects of dredging activities; instrumentation and automation; and project planning. This vital new edition covers major advances made over the last seven years. Three chapters are new to this edition: numerical models for predicting the fate of dredged material...subaqueous capping of contaminated sediment...and removal of contaminated sediments by dredging, with illustrative case studies.

Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1920 edition. Excerpt: ... C. E., "The earliest dredge of this type used in the United States was, it is believed, the Gen. Moultrie, used in 1855, at Charleston, S. C.... This dredge is stated to have been a moderate sized commercial steamboat, converted into a dredge by the addition of centrifugal dredging pumps with necessary piping, etc., and with bins constructed in the hold. Her drags, or suction heads, were probably somewhat similar to those now in use.... From 25 cents to $1.00 per cu. yd. for material dredged, according to locality and amount of work, was still (previous to 1890) considered a fair price for dredging on ocean bars; and on account of the great cost of dredging, the plan of deepening these bars by scour produced by jetties was regarded as the only practicable one." However, after the conclusion, in 1891, of six years of dredging, by contract, to deepen the entrance channel to New York Harbor, "the cost of maintaining the dredged channel to full width and depth has been found to be very moderate." The first suction hopper dredge built by the Government was the Charleston, in 1890, having one 15 inch pump and a bin capacity of 340 cu. yds. Between 1890 and 1900, three more were built, the performance of which effected such a reduction in the cost of dredging ocean bars as to question the economy of constructing the costly jetty for the purpose of deepening these channels. Since 1900, the Government has built a goodly fleet of these machines, probably the most intensive construction period being from 1901 to 1904, during which the total number constructed and under construction was 14. Two such dredges, the Caribbean and Culebra, built in 1907 by the Maryland Steel Company, of Baltimore, Md., were used in the construction of...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dredging Engineering With the reader's indulgence We will explain just what this small book is by first defining what it is not. It is not a compendium Of statistics. Neither is it a record Of the actual performance Of specific dredges Of all kinds and under all conditions; nor yet a compilation Of dredging cost data. Such information is already minutely available in the Annual Reports of the Chief of Engineers, U. S. Army, and in the records Of the various departments of commonwealths and municipalities controlling dredging operations in their respective localities.

Download or read book Environmental Aspects of Dredging written by R. N. Bray and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2008-03-10 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Expanding a port, deepening a navigation channel or creating new land for development, introduces changes to our physical, social, economic and political environment. Changes may result from events during the construction process, or relate to the nature of the completed structure. Changes can be positive or negative, short-term or long-term, and may affect the immediate vicinity of the project or a larger geographical area. Predicting and assessing all possible effects of a planned dredging activity in a scientifically-sound and reliable manner is essential, so that appropriate control measures can be taken to avoid or mitigate unwelcome impacts. This book provides guidance for a complete holistic environmental evaluation procedure and for the design and implementation of environmental control measures. The book is of particular interest to engineers, government agencies and port authorities, as well as civil engineering consultants and contractors involved in planning and designing dredging, maritime infrastructure and fluvial projects.

Book excerpt: The varied use of dredgers has led to the development of a variety of dredger types, from small ones appropriate to modest inshore projects, to very large sea-going dredgers for large-scale projects calling for the storage of dredged material within the ship. This book, which is the first book dedicated to dredging and its environmental impact in the widest sense, contains chapters on dredging operations in the Netherlands, Belgium, the UK, Spain, the US, China and Singapore. Additional chapters discuss more general aspects such as dredging techniques, monitoring of dredging operations, and the prospects of dredging in a changing environment. As well as providing information on dredging activities in different areas, it gives an insight into the activities and problems (environmental or other) involved in modern dredging. It will be of interest to professionals and students alike.
