Dredger Types and Appropriate Use
The main types of dredgers used throughout the world are:• trailing suction hopper dredgers (TSHD) and mechanical dredgers
(It is used mostly for maintenance or capital dredging ofunconsolidated sediments of lower to medium strength)Mechanical dredgers can be used for a wide range of soils and inmany types of projects, but generally have much lower rates ofproduction than suction dredgers

Cutter Section DredgerCSDs typically consist of a pontoon equipped with a rotating cutter head and an adjacent suction pipe that collects a mixture of cuttings and water which is pumped through a discharge pipeline to its destination. Commonly used for removing hard sediments in capital dredging projects.

Trailing Suction Hopper Dredger
A TSHD consists of a self-propelled ship with a hopper. The vessel is equipped with one or two suction pipes connected to draghead(s). The dragheads are lowered to the seabed and a slurry of sediment and water is pumped throughthese into the hopper. Dredged material settles in the hopper and the water drains off through a controllable hopper overflowsystem.

Mechanical DredgerThere is a wide variety of mechanical dredgers. The most familiar type is the grab dredger (GD) which consists of a crane mounted on a pontoon or self propelled hopper that operates a wireline controlled grab. Other types are:- the backhoe dredger (BHD) which operates a bucket mounted on an arm that is hydraulically operated (Figure 2)

Dredging Selection
• availability and cost;• physical characteristics of the sediment;• amount to be dredged;• dredging site and depth;• distance to the placement site;• depth of placement site;• physical environment at dredging and placement sites;• contamination level of sediments;• method of placement.

Specific legislation:
ü stimulating the treatment and re-use of sediments in such a way that land filling is only possible if the materials can not be treated to a re-usable product for a price lower than the land filling cost + taxesü describes the sampling procedure, analyses and limit values of the different re-use possibilitiesüimposes the use of transport documents and the obligation to deliver the contaminated material to a certified treatment centreü re-use is depending on the concentration in the material:‘free re-use’ or ‘re-use as civil construction material’

Overview of the tecnology
• Recent developments in several countries aim at maximum reuse of dredged silt, after one or more treatment phases.
• This can apply to the total volume or to fractions, such as the sandy fraction.
• Typical treatment are (both can be ON SITE or OFF SITE):Ø sand extraction Ø dehydration (natural or artificial)Ø dumping of dehydrated silt fraction and reuse of sand fractionØ (natural) dehydrationØ BioremediationØ dehydration and thermal treatmentØ mixing with additives (washing technology)Ø Immobilization

Dehydration
Dredged sediments pumped artificial islands
• consolidation under own or additional weight• several years and final dry matter content < 60%
• Dehydration to increase storage capacity• Dehydration as first step or finishing step in treatment chain

Dehydration
Two principles:
1. Natural dewatering:• lagoons or dehydration basins• excess water is drained off resulting in 50-55% DM• remaining water is evaporated by turning heaps• final dry matter content 60-65%• 1,5 m³ requires 1 m² for about 6-8 months• 10-15 €/m³ in situ

Pre-treatment: dewatering
- Prior to thermal treatment, sediment was dewatered (press)- During heating, energy is first used to evaporate water
→ higher water content → slows down the process→ lower throughput→ increased operational cost
