A dredging consultant - like ICM - is an independent engineer hired by the project owner to plan, design, obtain approvals for, procure, and supervise dredging works. Because ICM has no equipment to sell, our advice is unbiased and focused entirely on what is best for your project. Does ICM operate across all of Australia? Yes. ICM is based on the Gold Coast in Queensland and has delivered dredging consultancy services in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, Western Australia, the Northern Territory, and Tasmania. We also have significant international experience in the Middle East, New Zealand, Asia, and the United States. What approvals are needed for dredging in Australia? Dredging approvals in Australia typically involve state-level coastal management or marine park approvals, and may also require federal assessment under the EPBC Act if matters of national environmental significance are involved. For offshore disposal, a Sea Dumping Act permit may be needed. ICM manages this entire process and has extensive experience with regulators at both state and federal levels. What is a Dredge Management Plan (DMP)? A Dredge Management Plan (DMP) is a regulatory document that outlines how dredging will be conducted to meet environmental approval conditions. It typically covers dredging methodology, equipment, water quality monitoring triggers and responses, turbidity management, protected species protocols, and reporting requirements. ICM prepares DMPs for all types of dredging projects in Australian waters. Can ICM advise on beach nourishment as part of dredging projects? Absolutely - beach nourishment is one of ICM's strongest areas of expertise. Many dredging projects in Australia involve placing dredged sand onto beaches or in the nearshore zone as a beneficial use. ICM has designed and managed beach nourishment programs for projects including the Gold Coast, Cronulla, Noosa, Ettalong, and Coffs Harbour. How much dredging experience does ICM have? ICM has been involved in dredging projects since 1989, with our founder, Angus Jackson pioneering new techniques such as nearshore nourishment. Our team has been involved with over 6 million cubic metres of dredging, managed coastal projects in 23 countries, and authored more than 65 technical papers on coastal engineering. Our dredging projects range from small marina maintenance to major capital dredging programs of several hundred thousand cubic metres.
