O processo de dragagem: os equipamentos mais modernos e seus métodos de funcionamento

Abstract

This work aims to highlight an activity of strategic importance for the country and whose needto the ports is little known in the maritimeenvironment: the dredging. In Brazil, this process still lacks the necessary weight, which means that in many ports it is considered secondary before several investment projects. Furthermore, the work seeks to relate the main types of dredging and the most widely used equipment, explaining its work method (capital dredging, maintenance dredging, environmental dredging, mining dredging and where each of them should be used, considering type of soil, distance to the discharging area and capacity of the dredge. At the end of the work, you can see the variety of equipment used, and howtheyare specific, requiring a prior study of where the dredge will act to avoid additional costs. This is a research, working with papers and books devoted to the subject.
