Boskalis eliminates risk of implosion with new design for water box
Alongside pumping sand, managing the water level in the landfill is an important aspect of a dredging project. A water box, a metres-high structure in which planks can be positioned manually to keep the water at the desired level, is indispensable for this work. Boskalis recently won the Safety Award of the International Association of Dredging Companies (IADC) for its new, modular and, above all, safer design that eliminates the risk of incidents.
Finding innovative solutions to improve safety
When individual employees, teams and companies view everyday processes and situations through a continuous lens of safety, they can each contribute to making all aspects of operational processes, whether on water or land, safer. For the 2023 Safety Awards, IADC's Safety Committee received nine submissions. Each one is assessed on five different categories; sustainability; level of impact on the industry; simplicity in use; effectiveness; and level of innovation.
