The next CEDA Dredging Days conferences will take place in Rotterdam the Netherlands, from 10-11 November 2011 under the theme “Dredging and Beyond”.
Dredging is no longer a stand-alone exercise, but rather is becoming part of a broader, more integrated project realization process. The dredging industry is increasingly confronted by projects involving environmental protection, nature development, offshore energy production and mineral mining on the sea floor. We are no longer in the era of “Dredging and nothing but dredging”, we are in the century of “Dredging and beyond”.
CEDA Dredging Days have the reputation of being the premier technical forum for presenting and debating new ways of thinking, new innovative approaches, and cutting-edge dredging tools and technology. It is therefore no surprise that the next event in this successful series of conferences, CEDA Dredging Days 2011, will focus on two main areas where this integrated dredging approach is emerging:
* Dredging and rock dumping for the offshore oil and gas industry and deep-sea mining
* Building with nature for soft and hard dredging solutions (coastal and inland).
Representatives of manufacturers, universities, research institutes, contractors, consultants and public authorities working in the dredging, deep-sea mining, offshore oil and gas fields as well as in coastal and inland flood protection are invited to submit papers for the conference.
