PIANC Group Seeks Techniques for Reducing Siltation in Harbours
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 project will allow Rio Tinto Aluminium (formerly Comalco Aluminium) to expand its alumina refinery and increase the annual output of smelter grade alumina from that area. The work is being managed by Central Queensland Port Authority (CQPA).
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.
