DSC DredgeMaster Suite vs Open Channel Flow Lite

Welcome to DSC Dredge’s first IOS application for both iPhones and iPads designed to assist in benchmarking and monitoring cutter suction dredge performance. The suite contains individual wizards designed for specific components or tasks encountered in every dredging job. The proprietary knowledge and formulas used within these wizards are derived from years of dredge design, commissioning, and operation.
