This document summarizes a kick-off workshop for the DredgDikes project held on January 13-14, 2011 at the University of Rostock. The project involves testing the use of dredged materials for dike construction between partners in Germany and Poland. Key planned activities in 2011 include project management, meetings, technical and financial reporting, and initial field and laboratory testing of dredged material samples.

2.1 General Project Description - Background
Major shortage of dike construction material Surplus of dredged materials
along the Baltic Sea coast (Mergel/ marl) (muds and fine sands)
Regional authorities of M-V and Pomerania are looking for
technologies to use dredged materials for dike construction.

2.2 German & Polish Approach
Mecklenburg – West Pomerania (GER)
Mecklenburg – West Pomerania Gdański region
Pomerania (PL)
Very fine grained, organic dredged sludges Fine grained sandy dredged materials
used directly as dike construction material. usually not well suited for dike construction.
Integration with geosynthetic solutions Ash mixing technologies
- level possible inhomogeneities - improve soil characteristics
- allow steeper slopes - produce reliable construction material
Permanent erosion control Different kinds of ashes
Reinforcement systems
