Using sediment as a resource

Programme 2014 - 2020 INTERREG V-A France - Belgium - The Netherlands - United Kingdom (Les Deux Mers / Two seas / Twee Zeeën)

Date of latest update: 2024-12-17

Description

Description (EN):

Introduce technologies, methods and tools for the use of dredging sediments as a resource into the practice of water managers by identifying, analyzing and testing potential applications that make use of dredging sediments and by developing sediment management tools to enable water managers to organise this circular approach to sediment management. This results in the following changes: Adoption of new resource efficient technologies, methods, tools for using sediment as a resource. Reduction of volume of sediment treated as waste and of operational costs of water managers.

Achievements (EN):

PP4 has used the USAR project and the pilots of the other partners to talk in more detail and depth to interested parties in their own region, such as Port of Truro. The USAR project has helped the Port to assess more what they need themselves in terms of sediment reuse. So the Port is looking at the moment at reuse of dredge sediment to inforce and repair an eroding bank, which is holding back an old rubbish landfill. Also, coming out of the Sep2017 partnermeeting in Fowey, the port has been very interested in the USAR project, and has actively stayed informed on the OSMS. Furthermore, finishing the Recycling Strategy was a good achievement. PP3 has been very involved in WP's 1, 2 and 3. The other partners cooperated fully and with enthusiasm. Regarding the progress for the pilots (WP4), the partners assisted one another where they could. E.g. the presence of PP1 with the meetings of PP6 and the Belgian Environmental Agency, was very helpful and enlightend for all parties involved.
