Putting Responsible Marine Solutions at the heart of dredging
Coastal and inland waterway reslience through innovation and collaboration
This website is an initaitive of the International Association of Dredging Companies (IADC). IADC brings together and represents the global dredging industry on matters of sustainable development. Made up of 12 of the main global dredging contractors, the mission of the association is to showcase the value dredging brings to the world and its shared climate action.
Our vision
Through the industry best-practice approach, Dredging for Sustainable Infrastructure (DFSI), dredging contractors undertaking projects across the globe take the wide view; not only carrying out the core works needed, but incorporating all manner of sustainability-related elements. The DFSI approach can be understood through five key principles:
- Nature-based solutions
- Ecosystem Services
- Stakeholder Involvement
- Adaptive Management
- Innovation, Equipment and Technology
