PIANC Group Seeks Techniques for Reducing Siltation in Harbours

01 Apr 2004

The MarCom Working Group 43 at PIANC on ‘Minimising Harbour Siltation’ is conducting a worldwide search for techniques which have been developed and applied (or at least tested) with a view of reducing siltation in harbours.

The group is mainly focusing on muddy sediment, believing that sandy and gravely materials are less of a problem.

Any information on techniques should be sent to robkirby@ globalnet.co.uk or to Dr Kirby’s, 6, Queen's Drive, Taunton, Somerset, TA1 4XW, UK.
