SHORE ZONE MICRO-BARGE CONCEPT FOR OIL AND DEBRIS STORAGE AND TRANSPORT This presentation introduces an innovative oil and debris response solution - the Shore Zone Micro-barge. This small yet functional barge is designed to fill a response gap in recovering trapped but still mobile, heavy oil within a coastline’s shore zone and other challenging locations (rivers, wetlands, ice, mangroves). It also serves as a resource for debris recovery (nurdles and Styrofoam). Its features and functions support non-emergency, day-to-day community businesses such as aquaculture, shore debris cleanup programs, scientific monitoring, and more. Spilled heavy oil or small debris is often only partially recovered offshore due to various circumstances. Unrecovered product is then left to strand on shores. A community may engage their small vessels to recover the mobile oil before stranding with hand tools such as rakes, shovels, and buckets —whether they are hired to do so or self-directed. Recovering trapped, mobile heavy oil along shores and floating debris is a worldwide problem, as it is messy, inefficient, and unsafe. Collected wastes are often subject to multiple transfers from site to final disposal. This doesn’t have to be the case. The Shore Zone Micro-barge concept recognizes these problems and is part of the solution by offering a practical storage and transport resource. This presentation shares the Shore Zone Micro-barge concept and invites your feedback. The aim is to validate the issues, challenges, and solutions I've identified and welcome value-added suggestions. The presentation is available on YouTube (20 minutes). https://lnkd.in/gXVSekcg The PowerPoint presentation is on my website at: EnviroEmerg.ca The concept of an SZ Micro-barge and its design/specifications are intellectual property and cannot be subject to patent or disclosure without written permission from the author: Stafford Reid—EnviroEmerg Innovations Ltd

Tiamat has been making waves in the news! Thank you to Dredging Today for sharing the news about the results of our recent noise study. 👏 This year we have invested in deeper research into our innovative hydrodynamic dredger, Tiamat, with HR Wallingford. The results of the noise study, looking at the impact on the marine ecosystem, confirm that Tiamat is safe for marine mammals and fish, emitting significantly less noise compared to traditional Trailing Suction Hopper Dredgers (TSHDs). This study reinforces Tiamat’s role as a more sustainable dredging solution. With decibel levels below thresholds for marine life, Tiamat provides ports and harbours with an environmentally responsible and cost effective alternative for maintenance dredging. 🌍🌱 A huge thank you to our team and partners for making this possible.

20th Anniversary blast from the past, and one of our absolute favorites since we snapped this photo in 2010. In the background you'll notice our blue tanks with yellow handrails, this system at the Ruskin Dam near Mission BC was commissioned to treat 2000GPM (126L/s) of heavily sediment laden water and required to discharge directly into the Stave River. Knowing anglers were still fishing in that effluent not only proved our environmentally friendly chemistry but reinforced our ability to execute on the largest projects under the most stringent environmental regulations. #stormtec20 #watermanagement #sedimentcontrol

It’s always great to see Haven Dredging making headlines! 🌟 Earlier this year, we worked with HR Wallingford to conduct a study to assess the noise disturbance of agitation dredgers in the UK and its impact on marine life - led by the innovative hydrodynamic dredging solution, Tiamat. This recent feature in Dredging Today highlights the impressive results of the Tiamat noise study. The findings confirm that Tiamat is below the safe levels for marine life, while showcasing its more environmentally conscious approach to maintenance dredging compared to traditional methods. This is yet another milestone for Haven Dredging and is testament to the team’s commitment to sustainable innovation. A big thanks to Dredging Today for covering this important achievement!🎉 Read the full article below and follow Haven Dredging for more industry insights. #HavenDredging #Tiamat #SustainableDredging #Innovation

Adverse weather events cause a lot of disruption around the world, not only to buildings and assets, but to livelihoods and vital transport links. During storms, ports are considered to be “safe havens”, where the water is calmer and more protected from external weather conditions. However, this also means that this is where sediment naturally settles, and this can further disrupt infrastructure networks. As a result, ports, harbours, rivers and reservoirs need to manage the impact of storm events, and therefore need to dredge more often and on a more random basis – as opposed to planned campaigns – to keep traffic moving and supply chains healthy. Accretion of sediment on river and sea beds can often lead to an imbalanced build-up of materials, making bodies of water unnavigable. This can also have a detrimental impact on wildlife, habitats and the wider environment if it is not carefully and efficiently managed. The most effective method to address this problem is dredging, but it can come at a huge cost – both from a resource and financial perspective. Traditional methods of dredging can be useful in these situations, though there are limitations, particularly when it comes to needing to dredge with short notice and at various locations around the globe.

Construction of the climate chambers - the heart of our system In our climate chambers, we ensure optimal conditions for the Hermetia seed larvae to mature during the fattening cycle. The chambers have a floor area of 50 m2 and are 4 m high. Depending on capacity and building structure, we install a variable number of climate chambers for a FarmInsect system. At least two climate chambers are required for economical operation of the fattening system. With the help of heating and air conditioning technology from our partner company SKOV, the air flow, humidity and temperatures in the individual fattening chambers and between them can be precisely controlled. Join our Team! Visit our website or send your informative documents to talents@farminsect.eu. We‘re looking forward to hearing from you! #kreislaufwirtschaft #modernelandwirtschaft #landwirtschaft #insektenproduktion #farminsect #agritech #blacksoldierfly #verticalfarming #insectfarming #insectsasfeed #sustainability

Controlling vegetation along rail corridors is an essential element of rail safety and infrastructure management. Kim Evans from GTE Track Spray recently shared his experience trialing Method® 240SL herbicide from #Envu within a densely overgrown area in the Australian regional rail network. The commercial trial aimed to evaluate Method 240SL herbicide's efficacy in managing dense vegetation along the #railcorridor, which is crucial for safety and #infrastructuremaintenance. Despite several years of limited maintenance, and over growth of vegetation, Method 240SL herbicide proved highly effective, achieving a high level of control of both broadleaf and woody weeds within the 9 week trial period. Mr Evans highlighted Method 240SL herbicide's low application rate, excellent mixing properties and odorless nature, making it a standout choice for industrial #weedcontrol. Moreover, with its versatility in application methods, including boom spraying and cut stump situations, Method 240SL herbicide offers unparalleled convenience and effectiveness. While still new to the Australian market, this broad-spectrum herbicide shows immense promise, with plans to expand its usage across various remote corridors. Thank you, Kim, for sharing your experience with Method 240SL herbicide. As invasive vegetation can threaten the safety of crucial infrastructure, we look forward to continuing to arm our partners around the world with tools to identify harmful species and respond to threats with greater precision. To keep societies moving safely forward, we must be a force with nature.
