SURICATES
Sediment Uses as Resources In Circular And Territorial EconomieS.
SURICATES
Expected results : To allow the development of ambitious sediment re-use projects in Europe for the fight against erosion and floods
Main actions : Implementation and testing of innovative solutions to increase the use of fine sediments for erosion control and rating protection markets:
- Repositioning of sediments in the ecosystem to reset the conditions of natural flows. (Port of Rotterdam)
- Bio-engineering with sediments (Scottish Canals)
- Using pozzolanic properties of sediments (Scottish Canals)
- Sediment-Based Concrete Applications (Scottish Canals)
Establishment of methods and models for evaluating and optimizing the costs and benefits of sediment recovery at the scale of a territory. Targeted test areas: Hauts de France / Southern Ireland.
Ixsane's main contributions :
- Development and testing of a mobile pilot sediment dewatering unit to facilitate the operational use of sediments
- Territory-wide economic / environmental assessment of the direct and indirect costs and benefits of sediment upgrading projects
