La figure 12 montre deux techniques d'avancement : la technique à béquille mobile et la technique à deux pieux. Bien que la technique à béquille mobile soit recommandée en raison de sa meilleure performance sur les plans technique et environnemental, les deux méthodes peuvent être utilisées de telle sorte qu'elles n'entraînent pas la formation de plages de résidus non dragués. 1, record 1, French, - m%C3%A9thode%20%C3%A0%20deux%20pieux
