de Jonge, Kyle (author)Estimators at the production department of Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Company use a number of models to make production estimates for a job. These models require the slurry concentration in the suction arm of a trailing suction hopper dredge (TSHD) as an input. Currently this concentration is estimated based on results of previous projects....master thesis 2017

Kamal, Emal (author)The Trailing Suction Hopper Dredgers (TSHD) are typically used for the transportation of soil. The soil in the hopper can be removed by hydraulic transport using water jets and the discharge at the bottom level of the hopper. The soil fluidization and transportation is jet assisted. The unloading process can take quite some time; the unloading...master thesis 2017
