Ixsane achieves for its customers all the studies needed to conduct a dredging operation starting the organizational  preparatory phase to the environmental monitoring by going throgh  the operation monitoring  itself.

Environmental Study

	Preliminary study on the dredging operation Development of bathymetric profiles,assessment of sediments volume and their distribution Physico-chemical characterization of sediments: production campaigns sediment samples and interpretation of test results Plan of filing land : Diagnosis of existing fields and identification of new storage sites
Environmental monitoring after the dredging operation Establishing a groundwater quality monitoring network and quaterly or biannual monitoring campaign realization Monitoring the infrastructure sustainability of the storage site

Feasibility study
