Narrative :
An independent technical review of the backfilling of the trench executed in view of the Trans Adriatic pipeline in Italy was performed. This includes the evaluation of the activities related to the excavation, rehandling, storage and backfilling of the topsoil.
We compared the execution activities with standard practices and assessed the potential natural dynamics of finer sediments and sediments’ redistribution, among several other morphological changes at the dredging place.
Our touch:
- Out-of-the-box-thinking based on available data.
- System view: defining and comparing the equilibrium profile of the nearshore zone
- Risk assessment: analysis of backfilling conditions and risks.
- Analysis & understanding: definition of hydro-sedimentation conditions and consequences.
