Goals and objectives

The LIFE SURE project has as main objective to test and demonstrate an innovative dredging system that is cost-effective and pose low impacts on the surrounding environment in comparison to conventional dredging systems.

Specific objectives of the project are:

1. To test and demonstrate an optimal dredging process to recover and have a beneficial use of 70 % of the dredged sediments.
2. To demonstrate a mobile and “low-flow” dredging technology that can be remotely operated and has low energy.
3. To verify the hypothesis that such technique has low impacts on the surrounding environment
4. To disseminate the project methods and results to similar problem-owners in Europe and other regions.
