Download or read book The Hopper Dredge written by United States. Army. Corps of Engineers and published by . This book was released on 1954 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hopper dredges are designed to vacuum material from the sea floor through drag arms that load the material into the hold of the vessel. The cargo of mud, or sand, can then be transported to either an ocean disposal site, where the material is dropped to the bottom through openings in the bottom of the hull, or at an upland site such as a beach, or reclamation, where the material is pumped ashore by the ship. This method is most suited when excavating loose material from open areas for delivery to a distant disposal location. These vessels are generally certified to sail in coastal or ocean waters and are suited for working in rougher sea conditions beyond those suitable for other dredging plants.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is derived from chapter 6 from my main book `Dredging Technology Book 1`. In order to keep track of things the section and formula numbers are kept the same with the prefix 6. The Trailing Suction Hopper Dredger (TSHD) is the mayor workhorse of the modern Dredging Industry. During the last decades the load capacity of a single dredger has been increased to over 30-40 thousand cubic meters. This increase of scale kept the price per cubic meter low and thus enabled large scale projects such as: Chek Lap Kok Hong Kong Airfield , Dutch Beach Replenishment Program and the Maasvlakte 2 Rotterdam Harbour Extension. The sand production of a TSHD not only depends on the load capacity of the ship but also on the suction capacity of the pumps and dragheads. This is especially the case if there is a short transport distance making the suction time the mayor part of the whole cycle. However, there is one more important production factor: the settling velocity of the sand in the Hopper. To give you an idea of the problem: When the average grainsize of the sand is as low as 100 microns or less most of the sand will not even settle in the hopper but will flow direct overboard as soon as the overflow level has been reached. In this case one better stop the suction process when the overflow level has been reached and start sailing.The first part of is book explains how to optimize the cycle production of the TSHD. The use of a variable overflow height is described. Also the difference in optimizing between a cycle with a dump of the load and a cycle using the self emptying pumpsystem is explained. The second part deals with explaining and define the relevant parameters like : Restload, Loading rate, Degree of loading , Overflow loss, Hopper load parameter, Grain fall velocity , Hindred settling, Constant tonnage or volume system, Hopper design. From these the Hindred settling caused by the near bed sand concentration is one of the most important phenomena to reckon with. As shown above it is of great importance to know in advance what the max settling rate and overflow loss will be during the loading phase of a cycle. Therefore the last part of this book describes the development over the last decades of the "insight" in this settling process. It is amazing to see what completely different sedimentation models have been suggested over the years ! Lucky for us the large scale tests in the PhD promotion research carried out by prof. ir. C. van Rhee gave a very clear and well proven description of what really happens in the hopper. Moreover , his computational model resulted in an easy to handle correlation formula for the estimation of the overflow loss.

Download or read book Field Evaluation of Hopper Dredge Overflow for the Delaware River written by and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hopper dredges are often loaded past the point of overflow for economic reasons. As the hopper is filled, dredged material is stored in the hopper until overflow begins. The density of the hopper contents is increased by allowing the low-density supernatant to overflow back into the waterway. As the low-density supernatant overflows, the average density of the hopper contents increases. Thus, more material can be transported per trip to the disposal site or facility resulting in an economical loading. There is normally a tradeoff between the potential economic benefits and potential environmental effects. Overflow results in increased water column turbidity, and supernatant solids may be redeposited near the dredge site. Also, if sediments are contaminated, the overflow may result in some release of contaminants to the water column. Therefore, the relationship between dredge production, density of the hopper load, and the rate of material overflow are important variables in maximizing the efficiency of the dredging operation while minimizing harmful contaminant release.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Corps is responsible for dredging sediment from waterways to maintain shipping routes important for commerce. One dredge type, a hopper dredge, performs much of the dredging in ports and harbours, and the Corps uses its own fleet of hopper dredges and contracts. In 2003, GAO examined the Corps' hopper dredging program and made recommendations to improve its management. GAO was asked to review changes to the program. This book examines actions the Corps has taken to address GAO's 2003 recommendations for improving the information needed to manage its hopper dredging program and develop cost estimates for industry contracts; effects since 2003, if any, of the statutory restrictions placed on the use of the Corps' hopper dredges; and key challenges, if any, the Corps faces in managing its hopper dredge fleet.
