IADC’s Dredging Education
To optimise your chances of successfully completing a project, you should fully understand the basics of dredging and the requirements of a dredging project. And that is what the IADC Seminar on Dredging and Reclamation is all about! IADC has , often in co-operation with local technical universities, organised this seminar since 1993 and it has been held successfully all over the world, in Delft, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Cape town, Singapore, Brisbane, Mumbai, Panama and Buenos Aires.
Safety in Mooring
The risks of mooring operations in the dredging industry cannot be overstated. Equipment, training and competence of personnel, and technology are the different factors that play a part in safe and efficient mooring work.
Creating a “Culture of Safety”
This year’s IADC Safety Award winner proves that thorough training, compliance with ISO and other standards, vigilance regarding quality and health, safety and environment (QHSE) results in less on-the-job downtime, fewer accidents, healthier employees, improved performance and the delivery of quality projects.
Education and Training for a Career in Today’s Maritime Construction Industry – Dredgers are Made, not Born
To maintain a highly skilled workforce, the dredging industry seeks qualified candidates all over the world and provides present employees with special career opportunities.
The Human Factor
High-tech dredging companies are thinking as much about investing in “human capital” as they do in materials and equipment.
A Training Simulator for Cutter Suction Dredgers: Bridging the Gap between Theory and Practice
Computer simulations are becoming a significant, controllable and safe way of getting theoretical knowledge out of the “labs” and onto the dredge sites.
The Role of Education and Training in Dredging
At the WODCON XIV, ten panelists from various educational institutions and the dredging industry discussed the need for improved training opportunities.
