Our dredging studies consider all aspects of the required works, ranging from the ground conditions and the prevailing weather and ocean conditions to selecting a suitable plant to assess the optimal approach for completing each project.
We have experience in a wide range of dredging methods, dredging related issues and complimentary services.
Our experience in managing the whole life cycle of dredging projects means that we are best placed to assist our clients in ensuring timely execution and the best value for money from the engineering design, procurement, execution and maintenance phase.
The Central Dredging Association, founded in 1978, is an independent, non-profit, non-governmental, professional society for the dredging industry.
We provide an integrated approach to managing capital and maintenance dredging, reclamation, and sand bypassing.
Our reclamation modelling accurately simulates the disposal or reclamation process associated with dredging projects to optimise basin design and construction.
Silting at terminals requires regular dredging to maintain navigation channels.
We study the risks associated with marine facilities and use our findings to advise on the best ways to mitigate for any potential consequences.
We provide vital consultant engineering services, including complete project management from conception to completion for marine, port, and coastal projects.
We acquire and analyse wind, weather and sea state data to inform design, engineering and operational decision making.
We offer an integrated approach that enables total solutions design for urban, peri-urban and catchment systems. We have a detailed understanding of water quality and behaviour in a whole catchment context.

Using AIS-based methodology, BMT mapped out marine traffic scenarios that have enabled clients to plan future dredging activity safety & efficiently.
We were engaged by KPA to provide site supervision, technical and management services for the delivery of the Broome Channel Optimisation project to enable port access for large shipping and cruise vessels.
Ports North engaged us to provide specialist engineering design of the dredging and disposal site and environmental advice for the EIS process. Aproximately 800,000 cubic metres of material was removed and pumped onshore.
We were engaged by Fremantle Ports to develop and implement the marine monitoring program required to assess and manage the potential impacts from dredging and reclamation works.
We were engaged by the Bunbury Port Authority in 2004 and again in 2007 to manage maintenance dredging works undertaken in the harbour and channel areas of the Port.
We have worked to provide an integrated service for the management of the DoT's Maintenance Dredging Program since 2000.
BMT delivered the full range of project management, from the drafting of tender documents to on-site supervision.
We were delighted to be recently re-awarded the consultancy support services for the Western Australian Department of Transport Dredging Program for Coastal Facilities and Management Areas.
