“Sound in the marine environment is a topic which is now recognised as being of considerable importance to dredging and marine construction: it is another example of the need for a holistic approach to projects, where engineering and construction needs to work hand in hand with the environment in order to deliver great results for both. This is achievable and is being delivered by good practice.

“We use the HAMMER toolbox we have developed at HR Wallingford to help understand potential sound impacts on sensitive species at development sites. We look forward to continuing to innovate in order to provide the best possible services to our clients and the industry.”

The inaugural DPC Innovation Awards are the first universal benchmark of quality within the dredging and port construction industry; the rigorous judging process involved companies from all over the world submitting their entries to be judged by elite industry experts, making the DPC Innovation Awards an impressive industry accolade.

This year’s winners were announced at a gala dinner and ceremony at the Marriott Grosvenor Square, Mayfair, London on the 10th November 2016.

The awards are organised by the industry’s leading trade magazine, IHS Dredging and Port Construction.
