Dredging is the removal of stuff from the bottom of a bay, lake, river or other body of water. The costs of dredging vary as widely as the job. If you need to make a drainage canal deeper (or restore its depth), you can use a big bucket and do it from the bank. Costs are modest at a few hundred dollars per hour. Compare that to all out dredging like deepening a shipping channel or a harbor. Fasten your seatbelt. The big dredge can either bucket or "vacuum" the bottom materials away, and they can be directed into a hold onboard, onto a barge or "piped" out of the way. The costs of this kind of activity rocket into the thousands of dollars per hour, and can go higher, depending on the job and what is required to do it. Removal of sediments and muck is one thing. Removing rocks and such costs a ton more. Deepening New York harbor using a big bucket dredge and scows to hold the spill and tugs to pull it away costs hundreds of thousands of dollars per day. Use the YouTube link to the Dredging New York Harbor" to see the operation. At the end of the clip, the engineer dude says it costs $100,000 to $120,000 per day to do the job. That's too low for all the equipment and all that time (24 hours). It's gotta be more, and not just 'cause fuel costs have gone up. Wikipedia has information on dredging and on the equipment. You'll find the links below. Just for fun, we've provided a link to the Geopotes 14, one of the world's largest trailing suction hopper dredges. This bad boy sucks up material from the bottom and then dumps it in on on-board hold. It will then run out to sea a ways and dump the material before coming back to suck up more. You can't get this vessel for anything less than tens of thousands of dollars per hour, and there's probably a 48 hour minimum or something like that. What the heck. We went all out and included a link to a YouTube post of the big beast in action. YouTube has quite a few posts on dredging. Put "Dredge" in as a search argument and see how many hits you get.
The cost of a soil boring test with a report can vary depending on the location, depth of the borehole, and specific requirements of the project. On average, the cost can range from $500 to $3000 per borehole. It is best to contact local geotechnical engineering firms for accurate pricing based on your project's needs.
If soil is exposed to too much rain, it can lead to soil erosion, loss of nutrients, compaction, and waterlogging. This can affect plant growth, reduce crop yields, and decrease soil fertility over time. Proper drainage and soil management practices are essential to mitigate these effects.
The cost to remove PCE (perchloroethylene) contaminated soil varies depending on the extent of contamination, the location, and the methods used for remediation. It can range from thousands to millions of dollars for large-scale cleanup projects. Consulting with environmental remediation experts or contractors would provide a more accurate estimate for a specific site.
It all depends on the weight of the soil and what type of soil it is to find how much two feet of soil weighs.
Soil erosion can increase the cost of crop production by reducing the fertility of the soil, which may require additional inputs like fertilizers to maintain productivity. It can also lead to loss of topsoil, which reduces water retention and nutrient holding capacity, ultimately affecting crop yield. Erosion control measures and soil conservation practices can help mitigate these effects and reduce the overall cost of crop production.

a dredge is something they use to dredge the sea floor and then that sand is added to the beach for nourishment.

$300 because of the importance of the vinegar of soil
A dredge can be machinery or an action.The men dredged the waterway to make it deeper.The dredge's engine broke down.
