Sustainable, Environmental Treatment, And Reuse of Marine Sediments

Closed

Main objective : The SETARMS project aims to encourage its partners to work jointly for the economic development of Channel Sea ports, by developing sustainable management practices for marine sediment, taking into account technical parameters but also considering economic, environmental, social and regulatory aspects. Indeed, these dredging activities are faced to difficulties of legal, financial, environmental and social nature. That is why sediment management is becoming a major issue for port authorities, local authorities and industry. Main actions : - Overview of the current dredging methods, the types of sediments, immersion sites and regulation in GB and France - Literature review of world-wide experience concerning terrestrial and sea disposal of dredged sediments, review of potential re-use strategies for certain dredged materials and mine waste of similar characteristics, installation and calibration of analytical equipment, - Review of stabilisation and cementation techniques, equipment installation and training, electrokinetic experimentation on contaminant mobility etc.
