New Edition of ‘Environmental Aspects of Dredging’
EDITED BY R.N. BRAY. Published by Taylor & Francis. 2008. In cooperation with IADC and CEDA. Illustrated. 380 pp. ISBN 978-0-415-45080-5.
After two years of dedicated work by industry experts from IADC and CEDA, IADC and CEDA are happy to announce the publication of a completely revised version of Environmental Aspects of Dredging. This new and updated edition integrates the IADC-CEDA series of seven stand-alone guides which have become classic reference works on the subject of dredging and the environment.
This new single volume version (384 pages, illustrated) will be published by Taylor & Francis Publishers in January 2008. Edited by Nick Bray, it has been thoroughly rewritten and restructured, with contributions from many experts, researchers and professionals including the IADC/CEDA Editorial Advisory Board, the CEDA Environment Commission and the EuDA Environmental Committee and numerous IADC, CEDA, EADA and WEDA members.
The book treats all environmental aspects of dredging including the assessment of design effects, process effects, sampling and testing, dredged material management, international and regional legislation and case studies, and reflects recent industry advances. The book is of particular interest to engineers, government agencies and port authorities, as well as civil engineering consultants and contractors involved in planning and designing dredging, maritime infrastructure and fluvial projects.
Fundamental to the philosophy behind this new edition is the principle that dredging is a necessary activity in civilisation’s development, but that sustainability is paramount. The authors acknowledge that dredging techniques and activities in and of themselves will always make some change in the environment and that, although dredging always seeks to improve a given situation, awareness of the repercussions of change is essential. This book is invaluable in assessing whether any planned dredging will have a positive or negative impact on our environment, how we can plan and monitor projects and, when possible, reuse dredged material.
