Case Studies: Monitoring Pipeline Dredges

Abstract

The technical note (TN) herein documents current Corps of Engineers' experiences with monitoring contractor pipeline dredges. A series of subsequent TNs will describe the development and operation of the Pipeline Dredge Silent Inspector (SI). The SI work unit is defining standards and procedures and developing technology for automated monitoring of contract dredging. The resulting SI system will provide the means (standards and software implementations of those standards) to use these acquired data to assist the Corps in performing its dredging mission. The SI work unit is following a process of first defining requirements (needs) and then designing and implementing technology to meet those requirements.
