Angel Descent The need for accurate and undisturbed core samples has led to the development of this new coring method with controlled penetration speed, in order to obtain sediment samples with more accurate outcomes. Based on the water depth, this methodology, called “Angel Descent“, can be applied in different ways: in shallow water the corer is connected to a winch or a crane with variable speed control, while the piston is tied off to a fixed point on board with a very resistant rope; this rope runs down the length of the corer and attaches to the top of the piston. For deep waters has been designed a special winch: Carma® Winch. The elasticity of the cable will not, however, be insignificant, but this problem can finally be solved. Usually, the cable snaps back once released, after it stretches out due to the weight it sustains, depending on the depth of the job at hand. With this new method, the problem is solved because the mass of the corer – which weighs on the main cable – gradually, declines: the speed of the backlash of the main cable will be less than the speed of penetration of the coring tube in the seabed, thus allowing a much better result to be obtained.The method of controlled penetration speed can also be used in geotechnical or environmental studies, for example in the dating of undisturbed samples for determining the time-line of human affected events when dealing with environmental issues such as contamination and pollution.

The Subdredge has paved the way for remote-operated precise dredging. This technological breakthrough has made dredging possible in areas formerly inaccessible by regular dredging!

Slope surface protection refers to methods and materials used to prevent erosion, stabilize soil, and maintain the integrity of natural or man-made slopes. It involves applying techniques and products that reinforce the stability of slopes, preventing soil erosion due to water, wind, or other environmental factors. This protection is crucial in various applications such as road embankments, construction sites, mining operations, and environmental restoration projects to ensure safety, minimize environmental impact, and maintain structural integrity over time.

Are you or a loved one interested in a cutting-edge dredging method to clear cohesive sediments from your waterway or basin that doesn't require handling or storage? Are you a dredging nerd in general? Are you reading this? If you answered 'yes' to any question, then we have the research article for you! Excited to announce the team of myself, Joe Wagner PE BCNE BCEE, and my HDR colleague Robert Lewis had our paper published in the Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board. Our article explores the current state of water injection dredging – an innovative technique that provides a regional sediment management approach for maritime authorities. Learn how this method is transforming waterways across the U.S. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/gn6pXQZA #Transportation #Dredging

AS 1726:2017, which is the Australian Standard for Geotechnical Site Investigations, provides guidelines for the description and classification of soils and rock. For secondary or minor components of soil, the descriptive terms in AS 1726:2017 are as follows:Trace: Minor components that are present in very small quantities, less than 5% by weight.With: Minor components that are noticeable but do not dominate the soil composition, typically between 5% and 12% by weight.Adjective form of the component (e.g., sandy, silty, gravelly, clayey): When the minor component is between 12% and 25% by weight, it becomes a significant part of the description but still does not dominate the soil.These terms help to convey the relative abundance of the secondary or minor components within the soil matrix. #Geotechincal_Engineering

Here are 3 reasons you may see this piece of equipment on a job site: 1. Environmental Drilling: The truck can be used for environmental assessments, such as monitoring groundwater or testing for contamination. 2. Soil Sampling and Testing: The truck can be used to drill boreholes to collect soil samples from various depths. These samples are then analyzed to determine soil composition, strength, density, moisture content, and other properties. 3. Geotechnical Investigations: The drilling truck allows for the investigation of subsurface conditions, which is essential in assessing the suitability of a site for construction projects. This includes determining the depth to bedrock, the presence of groundwater, and the characteristics of the underlying soils.
