Current District Dredged Material Dewatering Practices

This technical note summarizes the current US Army Corps or Engineers state of practice in dewatering dredged material. State-of-practice dewatering methods are methods currently in full-scale use by one or more Corps of Engineers District Offices Districts as contrasted with state-of-the-art methods, which may not have been demonstrated in full-scale applications. The Corps of Engineers conducted research to investigate state-of-the-art dredged material dewatering techniques under the Dredged Material Research Program DMRP. Based on DMRP research, a number of dewatering methods have been recommended for implementation.
