| Summary: | Dredging is the process of removing sediments
from the seabed to deepen the waters for the safe navigation
of vessels. The dislodged materials from the seabed, i.e.
dredged marine soils, are generally disposed of as a geowaste.
This paper examines the potential reuse of the
dredged materials within a comprehensive framework of
technological feasibility, environmental soundness and
knowledge creation (SAKET management system). The
existing multi-discipline knowledge base serves as a vast
reservoir of good practices to be adopted and moulded into
the proposed system. The environmental background and
impact that are related to the reuse mechanism need to be
thoroughly investigated and determined too. The
background data enables an informed selection of relevant
technology to be implemented in the reuse exercise of
dredged marine soils, which could lead to technological
integration and innovation for optimum outputs. The
subsequent monitoring and reviews would then create new
insights and understanding to enrich the existing knowledge
base, i.e. a full circle return. The proposed SAKET
framework aims to provide a handling and management
system of dredged marine soils which is simultaneously
proactive and responsive, while being sufficiently flexible
and predictive to ensure effective operational outputs with
efficient utilization of the resources available. In short, the
framework would embrace existing know-how in the folds of
technological advances and innovations to develop an allencompassing
management system for reusing the dredged
marine soils in a responsible manner for long term benefits. |
