BUILDING DESIGNS
DREDGING SERVICES
Krafeo Global Concept Ltd engages in Dredging Services.
Dredging is an excavation activity or operation usually carried out
at least partly underwater, in shallow seas or fresh water areas
with the purpose of gathering up bottom sediments and disposing
of them at a different location, mostly to keep waterways
navigable. A dredge is a device for scraping or sucking the
seabed, used for dredging. A dredger is a ship or boat equipped
with a dredge.
The process of dredging creates spoils (excess material), which
are conveyed to a location different from the dredged area.
Dredging can produce materials for land reclamation or other
purposes (usually construction-related), and has also historically
played a significant role in gold mining. Dredging can create
disturbance in aquatic ecosystems, often with adverse impacts.
Usage
Capital: dredging carried out to create a new harbour, berth
or waterway, or to deepen existing facilities in order to
allow larger ships access. Because capital works usually
involve hard material or high-volume works, the work is
usually done using a cutter suction dredge or large trailing
suction hopper dredge, but for rock works drilling and
blasting along with mechanical excavation may be used.
Preparatory: work and excavation for future bridges, piers
or docks/wharves, often connected with foundation work.
Maintenance: dredging to deepen or maintain navigable
waterways or channels which are threatened to become
silted with the passage of time, due to sedimented sand and
mud, possibly making them too shallow for navigation. This is
often carried out with a trailing suction hopper dredge.
Most dredging is for this purpose, and it may also be done
to maintain the holding capacity of reservoirs or lakes.
Land reclamation: dredging to mine sand, clay or rock from
the seabed and using it to construct new land elsewhere.
This is typically performed by a cutter-suction dredge or
trailing suction hopper dredge. The material may also be
used for flood or erosion control.
Beach nourishment: mining sand offshore and placing on a
beach to replace sand eroded by storms or wave action. This
is done to enhance the recreational and protective function
of the beaches, which can be eroded by human activity or by
storms. This is typically performed by a cutter-suction
dredge or trailing suction hopper dredge.
Harvesting materials: dredging sediment for elements like
gold or other valuable trace substances.
Seabed mining: a possible future use, recovering natural
metal ore nodules from the sea's abyssal plains.
Anti-eutrophication: Dredging is an expensive option for
the remediation of eutrophied (or de-oxygenated) water
bodies. However, as artificially elevated phosphorus levels in
the sediment aggravate the eutrophication process,
controlled sediment removal is occasionally the only option
for the reclamation of still waters.
Contaminant remediation: to reclaim areas affected by
chemical spills, storm water surges (with urban runoff), and
other soil contaminations. Disposal becomes a proportionally
large factor in these operations.
Removing trash and debris: often done in combination with
maintenance dredging, this process removes non-natural
matter from the bottoms of rivers and canals and harbors.
Without the many and almost non-stop dredging operations world
wide, much of the world's commerce would be impaired, often
within a few months, since much of world's goods travel by ship,
and need to access harbours or seas via channels. Recreational
boating also would be constrained to the smallest vessels. The
majority of marine dredging operations (and the disposal of the
dredged material) will require that appropriate licences are
obtained from the relevant regulatory authorities, and dredging
is usually carried out by (or for) harbour companies or
corresponding government agencies.
Types of Dredging Vessels
Suction
These operate by sucking through a long tube, like some vacuum
cleaners. A plain suction dredger has no tool at the end of the
suction pipe to disturb the material. This is often the most
commonly used form of dredging.
Trailing suction
A trailing suction hopper dredger (TSHD) trails its suction pipe
when working, and loads the dredge spoil into one or more
hoppers in the vessel. When the hoppers are full the TSHD sails
to a disposal area and either dumps the material through doors in
the hull or pumps the material out of the hoppers. Some dredges
also self-offload using drag buckets and conveyors. The largest
trailing suction hopper dredger in the world is currently Vasco da
Gama (Jan De Nul) with its 33,000 cu.m. hopper and a maximum
dredging depth of 135m. The next mega trailing suction hopper
dredgers Cristobal Colon and Leiv Eriksson are actually under
construction in Spain and should be delivered in 2008. Main
design specs are the 46,000 cu.m. hopper and a design dredging
depth of 155m.
Cutter suction
A cutter-suction dredger's (CSD) suction tube has a cutter head
at the suction inlet, to loosen the earth and transport it to the
suction mouth. The cutter can also be used for hard surface
materials like gravel or rock. The dredged soil is usually sucked up
by a wear resistant centrifugal pump and discharged through a
pipe line or to a barge. In recent years dredgers with more
powerful cutters have been built in order to excavate harder and
harder rock without blasting. The two largest cutter suction
dredgers in the world are Deme's D'Artagnan (28,200 kW total
installed power), and Jan De Nul's J.F.J. DeNul (27,240 kW).
Auger suction
This process functions like a cutter suction dredger, but the
cutting tool is a rotating Archimedean screw set at right angles
to the suction pipe. The first widely used auger dredges were
designed by Mud Cat Dredges in the 1980s.
Jet-lift
This uses the Venturi effect of a concentrated high-speed
stream of water to pull the nearby water, together with bed
material, into a pipe.
Air-lift
An airlift is a type of small suction dredge. It is sometimes used
like other dredges. At other times, often an airlift is used
handheld underwater by a diver. It works by blowing air into the
pipe, and dragging water with it.
Bucket
A bucket dredger is a dredger equipped with a bucket dredge,
which is a device that picks up sediment by mechanical means,
often with many circulating buckets attached to a wheel or chain.
Some bucket dredgers and grab dredgers are powerful enough to
work through coral reefs to make a shipping channel.
Grab
A grab dredger picks up seabed material with a clam shell grab,
which hangs from either an onboard crane or a crane ship, or is
carried by a hydraulic arm, or is mounted like on a dragline. This
technique is often used in excavation of bay mud. Most of these
dredges are crane barges with spuds.
Backhoe/dipper
A backhoe/dipper dredge has a backhoe like on some excavators.
A crude but usable backhoe dredger can be made by mounting a
land-type backhoe excavator on a pontoon. The two largest
backhoe dredgers in the world were Tauracavor (Great Lakes),
New York (Great Lakes) and Il Principe (Jan De Nul). Both
feature a barge-mounted excavator. Small backhoe dredgers can
be track mounted and work from the bank of ditches. A backhoe
dredger is equipped with half-open shell. The shell is filled moving
towards the machine. Usually dredges material is loaded in
barges. This machine is mainly used in harbors and other shallow
water.
Water injection
A water injection dredger injects water in a small jet under low
pressure (low pressure because the sediment should not explode
into the surrounding waters, rather it is carefully moved to
another location) into the seabed to bring the sediment in
suspension, which then becomes a turbidity current, which flows
away down slope, is moved by a second burst of water from the
WID or is carried away in natural currents. Opposition claims
that Water Injection Dredging is not a natural way of dredging
while the side of the WID claims otherwise.
As a side note: Water injection results in a lot of sediment in the
water which makes measurement with most hydrographic
equipment (for instance: singlebeam echosounder) difficult and
should make use of filtering to produce better results.
Pneumatic
These dredgers use a chamber with inlets, out of which the water
is pumped with the inlets closed. It is usually suspended from a
crane on land or from a small pontoon or barge. Its effectiveness
depends on depth pressure.
Bed leveler
This is a bar or blade which is pulled over the seabed behind any
suitable ship or boat. It has an effect similar to that of a
bulldozer on land.
Other types
Amphibious
Some of these are any of the above types of dredger, which can
operate normally, or by extending legs, also known as spuds, so it
stands on the seabed with its hull out of the water. Some forms
can go on land.
Some of these are land-type backhoe excavators whose wheels
are on long hinged legs so it can drive into shallow water and keep
its cab out of water. Some of these may not have a floatable hull
and, if so, cannot work in deep water.
Oliver Evans (1755-1819) in 1804 invented an amphibious
dredger which was America's first steam-powered road
vehicle.
Submersible
These are usually used to recover useful materials from the
seabed. Many of them travel on caterpillar tracks.
This link describes a type intended to walk on legs on the seabed.
It is a summary of the article "Concept of a mathematical model
for prediction of major design parameters of a submersible
dredger/miner" by Sritama Sarkar, Neil Bose, Mridul Sarkar, and
Dan Walker, in "3rd Indian National Conference on Harbour and
Ocean Engineering, National Institute of Oceanography", Dona
Paula, Goa 403 004 India, 7 - 9 December 2004: see
http://www.nio.org for more information about publisher etc.
Fishing
Scallop dredges are used for collecting scallops or oysters from
the seabed. They have the form of a scoop made of chain mesh
and are towed by a fishing boat. Careless scallop dredging can be
destructive to the seabed, and can result in scallops containing
grit. Nowadays scallop dredging is often replaced by scuba diving.
Police drag
In some police departments a small dredge (sometimes called a
drag) is used to find and recover objects and bodies from
underwater. The bodies may be murder victims, or people who
committed suicide by drowning, or victims of accidents. It is
sometimes pulled by men walking on the bank.
Disposal of Materials
In a "hopper dredger", the dredged materials end up in a large
onboard hold called a "hopper." A suction hopper dredger is
usually used for maintenance dredging. A hopper dredge usually
has doors in its bottom to empty the dredged materials, but some
dredges empty their hoppers by splitting the two halves of their
hulls on giant hinges. Either way, as the vessel dredges, excess
water in the dredged materials is spilled off as the heavier solids
settle to the bottom of the hopper. This excess water is
returned to the sea to reduce weight and increase the amount of
solid material (or slurry) that can be carried in one load. When
the hopper is filled with slurry, the dredger stops dredging and
goes to a dump site and empties its hopper.
Some hopper dredges are designed so they can also be emptied
from above using pumps if dump sites are unavailable or if the
dredge material is contaminated. Sometimes the slurry of
dredgings and water is pumped straight into pipes which deposit
it on nearby land. Other times, it is pumped into barges (also
called scows), which deposit it elsewhere while the dredge
continues its work.
When contaminated (toxic) sediments are to be removed, or large
volume inland disposal sites are unavailable, dredge slurries are
reduced to dry solids via a process known as dewatering. Current
dewatering techniques employ either centrifuges, large textile
based filters or polymer flocculant/congealant based apparatus.
In many projects, slurry dewatering is performed in large inland
settling pits, although this is becoming less and less common as
mechanical dewatering techniques continue to improve.
Similarly, many groups (most notable in east Asia) are performing
research towards utilizing dewatered sediments for the
production of concretes and construction block, although the high
organic content (in many cases) of this material is a hindrance
toward such ends.
Environmental impacts
Dredging can create disturbance to aquatic ecosystems, often
with adverse impacts. In addition, dredge spoils may contain toxic
chemicals that may have an adverse effect on the disposal area;
furthermore, the process of dredging often dislodges chemicals
residing in benthic substrates and injects them into the water
column.
The activity of dredging can create the following principal
impacts to the environment:
Release of toxic chemicals (including heavy metals and PCB)
from bottom sediments into the water column.
Short term increases in turbidity, which can affect aquatic
species metabolism and interfere with spawning.
Secondary effects from water column contamination of
uptake of heavy metals, DDT and other persistent organic
toxins, via food chain uptake and subsequent concentrations
of these toxins in higher organisms including humans.
Secondary impacts to marsh productivity from
sedimentation
Tertiary impacts to avifauna which may prey upon
contaminated aquatic organisms
Secondary impacts to aquatic and benthic organisms'
metabolism and mortality
Possible contamination of dredge spoils sites
