Silent InspectorICHDMG Report • Review – Technical and Business Operation • Update on Implementation status • Current Issues
SI Review - FAQ • What does it do? • How does it work? • Who does what? • What do you get?
What Does it Do? • Reports dredge measured parameters that describe hopper dredge operations • Analyzes the data to guess what the dredge is doing – dredging, turning, sailing, dumping. • Stores, finds, reports, & plots data
Implementation Principles • Partnership with Dredging Industry • Report the Contractor’s Data • Performance based specification • Rigorous Data Quality Assurance
SILENT INSPECTOR District Operations ? Environmental ? Load/Daily Reports RE & QARs ? Email Send Data Explorer – eGIS Specifications National Silent Inspector Database Contractor Email Receive Dredges Hopper GlobalStar ? Scows ? Email Pipeline ? Internet Email / Flash disk Mechanical ?
Who Does What? • Corps provide a standard performance specification • Dredge owner designs system, operates, and provides all instrumentation and computers • Corps provides SI software for the ARCO computer
Silent Inspector Business Plan • National Always-On automated dredge monitoring • National Operations Support team • Evolve with 2012 Team of Teams • Operations Improvements • Include smaller contracts & districts • Transition support from R&D • Decision Support • eGIS integration
What Do You Get? • Automatic State Determination • Dredging, Turning, Sailing, Dumping, etc. • Production • Position
Using the Map Interface Zoom To All Plotted Points
Features of the National Plan • Expanded Project Monitoring • Include Regulatory • Expanded Dredge types • Simplify Dredge SI Certification • Centralized Support under Operations • Regional & National Stakeholders
Expanded Plant • All Hoppers • Include all Government Hoppers • All Scows • Minimum of Tracking Profile • Monitoring or TDS Profile specified by ODMP • Pipelines > 30”, + Goetz & Oregon • Mechanical dredges TBD
SI Center - Services • Data QC and Operational Monitoring • Dredge Certifications • Dredge Operator Support • Corps User Support • Training • Database Maintenance • Specifications Maintenance
Stakeholder Issues • T&E – Turtles & Sturgeon • Overdepth • Open Water Disposal Monitoring • Emergency Response Rentals • Regionalization • eGIS, eCoastal, RSM integration • Decision Support
National Team R&D • Demo the Pipeline SI – 4 dredges FY07 • Field Review of Mechanical SI spec • Turtle Observer Form Entry • Bin Measurement issue • Provide hooks to GIS and other systems
Implementation Issues • Funding Mechanism • Scope of Scow requirement; barges for upland disposal • Does always-on mean include the yard? – No • Certification and Recertification Issues • Mass vs. Volume production measure. TDS, Bin Measure
Implementation Issues - 2 • Regulatory implementation • Enforcement standardization • Contractor data upload • Data Access
