Trailing Suction Hopper Dredger (TSHD) is commonly used to dredge soft bed material. Problem .arises when the fme sediment which has low settling ability is often released along the overflow of TSHD as suspended sediment. This contributes to high turbidity which could continue over a time span. T...
