Environmental aspects of dredging technology
Journal Title: Biuletyn Instytutu Morskiego - Year 2017, Vol 32, Issue 1
Abstract
This work is an attempt to answer the question of what types of dredgers applied in dredging works at sea are most advantageous in the context of the rule of the most limited possible intervention into the marine environment. Elaborated reviews and depictions of the most popular types of dredgers are presented. An analysis with respect to the impact of the phenomenon of releasing pollutants accumulated in bottom sediments at all stages of the dredging process is also conducted. Its results indicate that application of mechanical or hydraulic suction dredgers is the most advantageous technique in terms of environment protection.<br/><br/>
