Seminars and Site Visits
The UK Section regularly organises technical evening programmes and site visits. These are excellent opportunities to meet peers, exchange knowledge and get the latest information in an informal and friendly atmosphere. The seminars are primarily held in the ICE headquarters in London, but are also undertaken annually around the United Kingdom. Site visits are also organised to significant or unique projects when possible. Links to past events and presentations are available on the right hand side of this page. (Presentations are only available to CEDA members - please log in to access these, or click here to become a member).
Outstanding Contribution Award
The committee invites applications each year for their annual award. The award recognises individuals who have made an outstanding contribution to the UK dredging industry; for example, by years of service, promotion of the industry or contribution towards inspiring, informing or founding best practices and innovation in the industry. Previous recipients of this award can be viewed here.
