Navigation projects

The purpose of this Manual is to present engineering criteria and practices for design, operation, and management of navigation projects, and demonstrate how those criteria and practices are interwoven with engineering ethics. [Pg.2]

Navigation projects include channels for ships, barges, and other watercraft. For the purposes of this Manual, they also include the water [Pg.2]

inland waterway system consists of more than 25,000 miles (40,235 kilometers) of channels and 220 lock and dam projects. This system moves commodities to and from coastal ports and interior cities. There are more than 400 small boat harbors designed and built by the Corps in coastal areas, rivers, and the Great Lakes. These harbors shelter both recreational craft and commercial fishing boats. Thousands of terminals and marinas are operated by local governments and private concerns. [Pg.3]

The key federal players in the U.S. Marine Transportation System operations are  [Pg.3]

Channel maintenance (dredging and dredging reduction), lock and dam operation and maintenance, and jetty repair. [Pg.3]

When Congress authorized the 4-foot navigation project in 1866, it also provided for work on the Rock Island and Des Moines rapids. After another survey, Brevet... [Pg.1287]

ASCE Manual No. 50, Report on Small Craft Harbors (1969), was the first attempt to consolidate some of the Corps s navigation criteria for small boat harbors. Consolidation of criteria for inland barge navigation systems and deep-draft ship channels was undertaken by the Corps in the 1970s. This effort resulted in the publication of Layout and Design of Shallow Draft Waterways, EM 1110-2-1611 (1980), and Hydraulic Design of Deep Draft Navigation Projects, EM 1110-2-1613 (1983). [Pg.1]

The design philosophy of public safety has always been used for navigation project design and has been implied, but not specifically stated, in many published works. The reason for the lack of need of formal statements is that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has been the principal designer and operator of the U.S. inland navigation system and coastal navigation channels for more than 100 years. [Pg.12]

This brief statement on the importance of public safety was expanded by paragraph 4 of regulation ER 1110-2-1404, Hydraulic Design for Deep Draft Navigation Projects (USAGE 1981)... [Pg.13]

Design Rationale The design of a deep draft navigation project must result in a safe, efficient, reliable and least cost plan with appropriate consideration of environmental and social aspects. However, the factors of safety, efficiency and reliability must be accommodated before the cost is optimized. Costs include construction, maintenance and replacement. [Pg.13]

Other currently available Gorps publications related to navigation projects that repeat the public safety concept include ... [Pg.13]

The International Navigation Association (PIANC ) addresses the issue of safety for navigation project design in their June, 1997 publication, "Approach Channels, A Guide for Design" (PIANC 1997). It provides the following in Section 2.3 ... [Pg.14]

The following weather and hydraulic factors are needed for input to the navigation project design analysis. [Pg.18]

Navigation Projects—Assume that vessels will be operated by sober, competent captains or pilots. [Pg.19]

An assessment of risk to life and property is needed for a project designed to function up to the initial set of design conditions and assumptions. If the risk (a combination of the probability of failure and consequences of failure) is not acceptable, then a project with a higher level of protection (a new set of design conditions and assumptions) needs to be evaluated for risk. This process is repeated until a project with an acceptable risk level is found. There are several types of risk to be considered in navigation projects. These risks are ... [Pg.19]

Stilling basins and downstream scour protections will be designed for the following conditions [ER 1110-2-1458, Hydraulic Design of Shallow Draft Navigation Projects (USAGE 1998)] ... [Pg.22]

Data gathering. Data gathering involves inventory, forecast, and analysis of water and land resource conditions within the planning area relevant to the navigation project problems and op>portunities. [Pg.36]

When a navigation project element fails to perform as intended or experiences frequent shutdowns or excessive maintenance, a review of the design is normally undertaken. This review can suggest structural or operational changes. However, for a "Design Deficiency" designation, the... [Pg.36]

In its Guidelines for Sustainable Inland Waterways and Navigation (PIANC 2003), PIANC recommends inland navigation project analyses that account for key physical and ecological processes, including ... [Pg.44]
