Study on Non-Contaminated Dredged Materials as an Alternative Reclamation Fill
Group 12-01
Analysis of our results
Strengths of our solution design:
•Food wastage is a big problem in Singapore. 786,000 tonnes of food was wasted in 2014, equivalent to the weight of 108 full load double-decker buses in a day
•All of our designs are food products, hence reusing the food wasted can save a lot of money
Weaknesses of our solution design:
•Food needs to be sorted out appropriately before mixing with the SCS
•If there is no food wastage, there will be a lack of materials to dry the SCS
•Food needs to be blended into liquid form, which may take time
•Mixture takes time to dry
However, besides this:
After the semi-finals, we realised that as these chemicals are part of food waste, which is biodegradeable, this solution design would be unreliable
Improvements we could have made:
•Blending process to turn solution into liquid form should be improved
•Different solutions can be blended together to maximize effectiveness
