On December 10, the dredging project of the Xishiyi Line of Zhangjiagang City
was successfully completed. The cross-section measurement and comparison
by the project management staff of the Channel Management Office of
Zhangjiagang City, the river bed section and elevation all meet the design
requirements; it will provide a guarantee for passing ships to pass the
channel smoothly.
Previously, the Zhangjiagang waterway management office found that the
silt was thicker in the 500-meter section of the southern side of the Jiangqiao
Bridge, which affected the safe passage of the channel. In order to ensure
the safety of passing ships, the Zhangjiagang Office uses a dry season to
organize a professional dredging team to dredging the above-mentioned
segments. It was used silt curtains for containing this suspended sediment
and dredger for disposing the silt.
