    Preliminary remarks MARPO_Dredger instruction manual PRELIMINARY REMARKS The software MARPO_Dredger is part of the MARPO_DGPS_K extraction monitoring system. It is able to display and save positions and extraction depths of the excavation tool of a dredger during the dredging process in a mining area. This instruction manual describes the operation and function of MARPO_Dredger.

  • Page 7: Plan View

    Plan View MARPO_Dredger instruction manual PLAN VIEW The upper part of the screen is called the plan view. It contains the digital terrain model (DTM), which is created by using survey data, approval limits and a digital dredger model. The plan view is a flexible 3D-visualisation, which allows the user to get a preferably flexible and individual observation of the mining area.

  • Page 9: Colour Scale Mining Depth

    Plan View MARPO_Dredger instruction manual Colour scale Mining depth The colour scale refers to the current distance in meters to the target horizon (excavation limit). Above the target horizon, the status is displayed in green and below in red. The adjustment of the colours is described in section 3.8.

  • Page 10: Colour Scale Terrain Model

    Plan View MARPO_Dredger instruction manual Colour scale Terrain model The colour scale is used as a visual tool to quickly distinguish between different depth zones. In the Terrain view, the DTM is displayed in different colours with reference to the height values. The red line below the value "0.00" symbolises the water level.

  • Page 11: Scale

    Plan View MARPO_Dredger instruction manual  The value Lower (here: -18.70 m) defines the lower edge of the target horizon (mining limit) and is usually set to 2 m below the actual target horizon.  The red arrow marks the boundary between land and water. By default it is positioned between the colours brown and yellow.
  • Page 12 Plan View MARPO_Dredger instruction manual In addition to the colour scale and the colours themselves, there is another menu option to be changed. The colour scale of the mining depth (see section 3.1) can be adjusted by double left clicking onto the colour scale of the Button Mining Thickness. The four colour boxes at the right end of the colour scale represent the colour scale of the mining depth.

  • Page 13: Grid Coordinate Mode

    Plan View MARPO_Dredger instruction manual Grid Coordinate Mode This mode hides the surface of the DTM and displays the grid points only. Therefore a colour scale is not available here. Grid points are created as soon as depth values are recorded by the loosening tool or the echo sounders.

    Plan View MARPO_Dredger instruction manual 3.10 Box Cut mode (optional) The Box Cut mode is similar to the Mining Thickness mode. In this mode, however, the coloured reference is not used to indicate the material left above the target horizon/ mining limit (red line), but to an intersecting or overlying stepped slope (green line).

    Profile View MARPO_Dredger instruction manual Orientation arrows The orientation arrows are used for orientation in the direction of the profile cut (see section 5.6). The blue-green line in the upper image (plan view) equals the orientation arrows in the lower image (profile view). The line does not only show the orientation of the profile cut, but also mirrors exactly the width of the lower view.
