Singapore Selected to Host 2020 IADC Dredging Seminar

From October 5-9, 2020, the International Association of Dredging Companies (IADC) will hold its well-known Seminar on Dredging and Reclamation again in Singapore.

IADC LOGOThis year, from 5-9 October 2020, the International Association of Dredging Companies (IADC) organizes its well-known Seminar on Dredging and Reclamation again in Singapore.

The Seminar was developed for both technical and non-technical professionals in dredging-related industries, from newcomers in the field of dredging to higher-level consultants, advisors at port and harbor authorities, offshore companies and other organizations that have to execute dredging projects. It will provide attendees with a wealth of knowledge and a better understanding of the fascinating dredging industry.

In the Classroom

There is no other dredging seminar that includes workshop exercises covering a complete tender process, from start to finish. The in-depth lectures are given by dredging experts from IADC member companies whose practical knowledge and experience add extra value to classroom lessons. Amongst the subjects covered are:

  • the development of new ports and maintenance of existing ports,
  • project development: from preparation to realization,
  • descriptions of types of dredging equipment,
  • costing of projects,
  • types of dredging projects, and
  • environmental aspects of dredging.

Outside the Classroom

Seeing is believing. Activities outside the classroom are equally as important. A site visit is therefore an integral element in the learning process. This gives the participants the opportunity to see dredging equipment first-hand and to gain a better understanding of the extent of dredging activity.

Face-to-face social contact is also invaluable. Therefore, a mid-week dinner is part of the program where participants, lecturers and other dredging employees can interact, network and discuss the real, hands-on world of dredging to provide another dimension to this stimulating week.

Certificate of Achievement

Each participant will receive a set of comprehensive proceedings and at the end of the week, a Certificate of Achievement in recognition of the completion of the coursework. Full attendance is required for attaining the Certificate of Achievement.

Costs & Venue

The fee for the week-long seminar is EUR 3,100.–. This includes all tuition, proceedings, workshops, site visit and a special participants’ dinner but excludes travel costs and accommodation. Assistance with finding hotel accommodation can be given. The venue in Singapore will be announced soon.

About the Seminar
