Abstract
    A new technique in soil treatment has recently been introduced. Following the successful development of the BeauDrain ® vacuum consolidation system, Boskalis has now developed another new dredging technique called BeauDredge ® . Clean sand is extracted from underneath the (unmarketable) top layer and consequently the existing ground level is lowered more or less undisturbed. A pilot project at the Ketelmeer (The Netherlands) has demonstrated that the technique is highly suitable for deepening or constructing naviga-tion channels by dredging under (contaminated) upper layers. The technique can also be used for various other “soil jobs” in hydraulic engineering.
