Local governments select bidders based on their ability to meet the dredging project's deadline and budget. Optimizing the efficiency of all dredging operations would be extremely beneficial to dredging companies. A constraint programming approach can be used to distribute dredge resources to projects. What conditions allow dredging companies to operate their entire portfolio of dredging operations while remaining compliant and efficient? Sensitivity analysis is designed to do just that.
Dredge fleet scheduling and sequencing is difficult due to the high variability and uncertainty of natural processes, technical capacity, drilling operations, and economic conditions. Dredging optimization studies that use mathematical models to forecast dredging performance at project or reach levels are widespread, as noted in the literature (e.g., Ratick and Garriga (1996), Menon and Lansey (1990), and Lund (1990), Nachtmann and colleagues (2014)).
Our optimization experts come from a variety of backgrounds and work closely with the academic world to provide cutting-edge concepts. Solvice creates real-world solutions by conducting new research, evaluating promising mathematical models, and combining the best ideas.
