Measurements of contaminated-sediment thickness at the Randle dredge site, Hamilton Harbour / N.A. Rukavina.: En13-5/99-221E-PDF

"Data on contaminated-sediment thickness and volume are needed to plan and carry out a remedial dredging program at the Randle Reef site on the south shore of Hamilton Harbour. Previous estimates of sediment thickness based on core data are unreliable because of a number of errors introduced by the coring procedure. A consistent set of measurements of depth to refusal in the soft surficial sediments was obtained with a tripod penetrometer developed at NWRI"--Abstract.
