Museum in Sliedrecht to Host Lecture on Dredging Projects

The National Baggermuseum (Dredging Museum) in Sliedrecht will host lecture by Peter Verhoef on offshore groundmodels for dredging and cable burial projects on Tuesday, September 4.

Verhoef works as a Senior Engineering Geologist at Boskalis and as a Guest Lecturer at the TU Delft.

The lecture on offshore groundmodels for dredging and cable burial projects will be given in English and starts at 2:00 PM.

In his lecture, Verhoef will discuss the latest development of groundmodels for offshore projects, with emphasis on the methods used to arrive at 3D engineering geological models of the sub-seabed surface. The organization of offshore ground investigation and the role of 3D GIS (Geographic Information System) will also be discussed.

The Borssele offshore windfarm project in the Netherlands and the Fehmarnbelt immersed tunnel project between Germany and Denmark will serve as examples.
