International Seminar on Dredging and Reclamation in Singapore

September 8, 2016

The International Association of Dredging Companies has announced that their International Seminar on Dredging and Reclamation will be held in Singapore, 17-21 October 2016.

To optimize the chances of the successful completion of a project, contracting parties should, from the start, fully understand the requirements of a dredging project.

This five-day course strives to provide an understanding through lectures by experts in the field and workshops, partly conducted on-site in order to give the “students” hands-on experience.

An important feature of the IADC seminars is a trip to visit a dredging project being executed in the given geographical area. This gives the participants the opportunity to see dredging equipment in action and to gain a better feeling of the extent of a dredging activity.

Topics

overview of the dredging market and the development of new ports and maintenance of existing ports;
project phasing (identification, investigation, feasibility studies, design, construction and maintenance);
descriptions of types of dredging equipment and boundary conditions for their use;
state-of-the-art dredging and reclamation techniques including environmental measures;
site and soil investigations, designing and estimating from the contractor’s view;
costing of projects and types of contracts such as charter, unit rates, lump sum and risk-sharing agreements;
design and measurement of dredging and reclamation works;
early contractor involvement.
