Luckily these applications can be found across many horizontal markets not just the dredging market. Today dredging has many and diverse applications, some of which are listed in the table below. With this in mind, nowadays a more comprehensive definition for dredging would be “excavating, transporting or placing soil and/or rock mainly underwater”. These are just two examples of how the dredging industry has developed in the last century to meet changing demands. By the 1980s, this innovative industry had started to accurately place rock subsea at great water depths. In the 1960s the dredging industry was already performing underwater rock cutting and excavation on a large industrial scale. Yet this definition is far from accurate when describing the modern dredging market and its practices.

Those familiar with the term “dredging” tend to associate it with the traditional dictionary definition, which is limited to the removal of underwater soil. And many people we talk to are surprised by the range and complexity of the work we do. At in2Dredging (i2D) we are active solely in the dredging industry. However, it is much more diverse than most people realise. At first glance, the dredging market, or the dredging industry, may seem small and limited.
