Record 2 2000-08-18

English

Subject field(s)
  • Dredging
DEF

Dredging for construction of new facilities.

CONT

When new harbour facilities are built, large amounts of material almost always have to be removed to create navigation and mooring areas. Such projects are called capital dredging projects.

CONT

During capital dredging projects, however, areas which have remained "natural" thus far are dredged, and this can entail physical modifications that have major impacts.

Key term(s)
  • new facility project
  • new facility construction

French

Domaine(s)
  • Dragage
DEF

Construction de nouvelles installations.

CONT

La construction de nouvelles installations portuaires donne presque toujours lieu à l’excavation de volumes importants de matériaux lors de la création des aires de navigation et d’accostage. On parle dans ces cas de dragages de capitalisation.

CONT

[...] dans le cas de nouveaux projets, dits «de capitalisation», qui nécessitent des travaux de dragage d’aires jusque là «naturelles», des répercussions importantes peuvent être associées aux modifications physiques du site dragué.

Record 3 2000-03-06

English

Subject field(s)
  • Water Supply
CONT

Monitoring of water quality during capital and maintenance dredging with a cutterhead dredge in the Bécancour harbour between 1983 and 1984 showed that the critical suspended solids concentration threshold of 100 mg/L was rarely exceeded close to the raw water intake of the Gentilly nuclear power plant 1 km downstream.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Alimentation en eau
CONT

Un suivi de la qualité de l'eau effectué lors des projets de dragage de capitalisation et d’entretien réalisés dans le port de Bécancour en 1983 et 1984 à l'aide d’une drague hydraulique à désagrégateur indique que le seuil critique de 100 mg/L de MES n’ a été dépassé qu'en de rares occasions à la proximité de la prise d’eau brute de la centrale nucléaire de Gentilly, située à 1 km en aval.
