Improvement of coastal inlets by sidecast dredging
Construction and maintenance of navigation channels through shallow coastal inlets of North Carolina have always been hazardous and expensive undertaking; with development of shallow-draft sidecasting dredge, hazards have been virtually eliminated and construction and maintenance costs have been brought within reasonable limits; need for dredge of shallow-draft sidecasting type is shown and history of its development is given; plant is described and operating procedure in typical shallow inlet channel is discussed; performance and cost experience are presented and observations are offered on stability of dredged channels.
