After two years of intensive work, IADC, CEDA and Taylor & Francis Publishers have published a new edition of ‘Environmental Aspects of Dredging’. The book is based on the IADC-CEDA series of seven stand-alone guides which over the last decade had become classic reference works on the subject of dredging and the environment.
Edited by Nick Bray, the new edition has been thoroughly rewritten and restructured, with contributions from many experts, researchers and professionals including the IADC-CEDA Editorial Advisory Board, the CEDA Environment Commission, the EuDA Environmental Committee and numerous IADC, CEDA, EADA and WEDA members.
Environment and Dredging
The book treats all aspects of the interaction of environment and dredging including the assessment of design effects, process effects, sampling and testing, dredged material management and presents new case studies. It reflects recent changes in international and regional legislation and the most up-to-date industry advances.
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. Professors will find this new book suitable supplemental reading for their students. Stakeholders concerned with environmental impacts of dredging will gain a more thorough understanding of dredging projects.
Sustainability and Civilisation’s Development
Fundamental to the philosophy behind this new edition is the principle that dredging is a necessary activity in civilisation’s development, but that sustainability is paramount. The authors acknowledge that dredging techniques and activities in and of themselves will always make some change in the environment and that, although dredging always seeks to improve a given situation, awareness of the repercussions of change is essential. The book is helpful in assessing whether planned dredging will have a positive or negative impact on the environment, how all parties can work together to find successful solutions, how projects can be planned and monitored, and how to find uses for dredged material.
