➢ It is a stationary dredger normally used for
mining sand. The suction pipe of this dredger
is inserted into the sand deposit and water
jets are used to bring the sand up from the
excavation site. The sediment can be pumped
by sucking the sediments into the pipeline
and transferring it to the reclamation site or
loaded into barges, depending upon the
location and available transfer arrangement.

➢ It is another stationary dredger with a cutter
head as a dredging equipment to loosen the
base which is to be dredged. Similar to the
suction dredger, the sediments are sucked
and pumped via a pipeline ashore or into
barges. The cutter head can be of different
designs and materials, depending upon the
properties of the surface to be dredged

➢ This is a self-propelled ship carrying the
dredger equipment having a hold or hopper
arrangement to fill it with excavated material
while following a pre-set dredging operation.
This type of dredger has an arrangement to
open the bottom of the hold to unload the
dredged material into the designated site.
This kind of dredger is mainly used in open
water such as canals, rivers, estuaries etc

➢ This is actually an assisting equipment in the
dredging operation and not a dredger itself. It
is used to empty the hopper barges
sediments using suction pipe which can be
lowered in the hopper barge hold. Additional

instead of water jets for material flow at the
mouth of the suction pipe.

➢ This type is used to level the bed surface
which has recently been dredged. It consists
of a long flat blade or heavy bar which is
connected to a tugboat at the end and when it
is pulled, it will level the surface on the
dredged surface over short distances.

➢ The quantity of material dredged from
anybody of water can be determined either
by sounding or scow measurements. Depth
measurement are obtained before and after
when soundings are used. The spacing of the
soundings will depend upon the smoothness
or irregularity of the bottom and upon the
difficulty of excavating material. Soundings
taken in tidal waters or in rivers at different
stages of the stream must be reduced to a
common datum

➢ The constructions of dams and reservoir
require extensive topographic and
hydrographic surveys. Dams are barriers
which are built to hold back or impound
water. The impounded water forms an
artificial lake or pond, called reservoir, in
which water is collected and stored usually
for purpose of irrigation, water supply, and
hydroelectric power production wand
transmission.

➢ The involvement of a civil engineer during
the early stages in the planning and
development of ports, wharves harbors, and
other marine structure is highly essential. His
task usually includes the preparation of plans
and design, supervision of all new marine
construction, the execution of related
hydrographic survey, and the subsequent
maintenance of existing marine structure.
