NMDC, NYU Abu Dhabi host workshop, spotlight on dredged material behavior

NMDC Dredging & Marine held a one-day collaborative engineering workshop in coordination with the Department of Engineering at New York University (NYU) Abu Dhabi, the company said today.

“The workshop focused on knowledge exchange, innovation, and exploring joint R&D opportunities in areas such as dredged material behavior, alternative cement materials, and long-term performance of reclaimed land using centrifuge testing,” NMDC said.
