The January/February 2011 issue of the International Dredging Review magazine included a prominent article covering the Holmes Beach Dredging Project. The industry leading magazine approached Piedroba  after learning about their innovative application of rapid dewatering systems on dredging projects.

Other topic areas of the article included: project characteristics, slurry processing equipment set up, the advantages of solid removal systems and turbidity requirements and measurements.
