Bottoms up: Dredged materials arn't just for landfills anymore. Engineers have discovered their many hidden benefits

Article Abstract:

Dredged material from waterways and harbors was considered spoil, but engineers are discovering how to use the material beneficially in the wake of stricter environmental regulations. New uses include creating and restoring habitats, beach replenishment, aquaculture, reclamation of landfills and industrial and commercial uses in parks, terminals and airports. Projects include the redevelopment of a former municipal landfill and Hart Miller Island, a dredged material placement facility.

Remediated dredge material used to create cement

Article Abstract:

The Region 2 of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the New Jersey Department of Transportation (DOT) have sponsored a pilot test that turned dredged matter into an ingredient of portland cement in order to decontaminate and reuse the material as well as to conserve landfill space. Their main aim is to establish a self-sustained new industry that uses dredged material as building material.

Looking toward tomorrow

Article Abstract:

A footprint of the new intermodal transit station in Secaucus, New Jersey is designed to reduce commuting time to New York City and to accommodate additional development around and above. The station is the culmination of many years of design and construction work that focused on coordinating the demands of rail traffic, commuter circulation, commercial development, and government operations.
