Western Pacific Dredging Company designed and built an experimental jet fluidizer for the removal of sand waves in the Columbia River navigation channel in 1987 (under contract to the US Army Corps of Engineers). The performance of this jet fluidizer is being evaluated and reported on in a series of reports. Report 1 of this series presents design details and results of the first dredging exercise that took place September-October 1987. Although the fluidizer proved successful at removing the specified sand wave volumes, recommendations were made for improving the fluidizer efficiency and reducing the unit cost per cubic yard of material removed. Report 2 describes the modifications that were made to the fluidizer dredge and evaluates the field performance for the second dredging exercise that took place September-October 1988.
