Maintenance dredging: allowable limit for dredge volume differences using SBES and MBES datasets / Raiz Razali

In order to ensure channel clearances based on final dredging level are valid, sounding works are required to be used. The dredge volume being excavated is computed using sounding datasets. Although multi-beam echo sounders (MBES) are widely used today because of high-density data, single-beam echo...
