Abstract
This paper is a case study that describes the application of the Dry DREdge™ technology coupled with geotubes in the dredging and dewatering of hazardous sediments. The paper describes the project objectives, the Dry DREdge™ and Geotube technologies, and the results of applying this technique. The Dry DREdge™ was jointly developed and tested by DRE and the U.S Army Corps of Engineers, Waterways Experiment Station (WES), Vicksburg, MS, under the Corps of Engineers Construction Productivity Research Program (CPAR). Though the case study pertains to containment of dredged hazardous material from settling pond, the technology is applicable for the removal of hazardous sediments from estuaries, harbors and inland waterways
