Program Overview

If you're a professional involved in inland and urban waterways dredging-related activities for water infrastructure development, manage flood risks and irrigation, ensure environmental remediation of polluted areas and resource recovering such as mining for minerals and creation of new land, and to maintain navigable waterways for transport whether in government agencies, municipalities, port authorities & operators, consultancy firms, dredging companies, mining companies, NGOs, suppliers, or ship-builders, this masterclass is tailored for you.

There are several challenges in inland and urban dredging include managing contaminated sediments, which can release pollutants and risk human and aquatic health; access and equipment limitations in narrow, shallow, or confined waters with potential obstructions; efficient and sustainable dredged material disposal due to large volumes or poor quality; environmental impacts beyond contamination, such as altered water flow or habitat disruption; and economic factors like high costs, infrastructure needs, and the lack of suitable equipment for diverse conditions. 

At this practical and case-study driven 4 day Inland & Urban Dredging Masterclass, our expert trainer will walk you through in a step-by-step approach how to design, plan, manage and execute inland and urban dredging projects & operations. Don’t miss it!
