The optimisation of waterways is a cost-benefit exercise that balances safety, economics and environmental concerns.
Using cutting edge under keel clearance technology, OMC can define the cost-benefit relationship in tems of:
- channel depth profile and/or alignment options;
- the cost of dredging; an
- a measure of waterway capacity that is meaningful to the client.
OMC’s waterway design engineers are world leaders in the development and implementation of channel design and depth optimisation technology. Our unique understanding of port operations, statistical modelling techniques and UKC analysis enables us to present an accurate picture of cost-benefit to the client. Our optimisation methods enable dredging to be targeted, ensuring maximum return on investment.
Services OMC’s waterway design and depth optimisation services include:
- channel depth profile and/or horizontal alignment optimisation;
- siltation analysis;
- dredge volume calculations;
- batter slope and silt trap design;
- dredge program design, including detailed plans;
- navigation aid placement and specification; and
- waterway capacity analysis.
Our modelling techniques are applicable to the full spectrum of ports, from small single cargo, single waterway ports to the busiest multi cargo ports and waterways in the world.
