The Interreg North-West Europe programme promotes transnational cooperation to make North-West Europe a key economic player and an attractive place to work and live, with high levels of innovation, sustainability and cohesion.
SURICATES Sediment Uses as Resources In Circular And Territorial EconomieS
Start date: September 2017
End date: December 2023
Funding
Total project budget: €8,014,394
ERDF funding: €4,808,636 euros
Funding rate: 60%
Aims
The aim of the project is to increase the reuse of dredged sediments for protection against erosion and flooding. We will provide authorities, port and waterway managers and erosion experts with new large-scale solutions for sediment reuse in ports, waterways and on the coasts of North-West Europe.
Expected results
We will implement tools and methods for quantifying the overall impact on a regional scale using social, economic, employment and environmental modelling, and we will test eco-innovative techniques under real conditions, providing a long-term impact assessment and guidelines for replication: shoreline reinforcement, harbour/riverbank regeneration and beach nourishment.
