Simplify DQM Compliance with DSC Dredge —No Extra Hardware Required!

When it comes to meeting the requirements of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Dredge Quality Management (DQM) Program, compliance shouldn’t mean complexity. That’s why DSC Control Systems are built to simplify the process—ensuring you stay compliant with ease and efficiency.

What is the DQM Program?

The Dredge Quality Management (DQM) Program is a mandatory data reporting requirement for certain Corps of Engineers dredging projects. Its purpose? To collect critical operational parameters—not to improve safety or optimize performance, but to accurately monitor dredging activities.

And while the requirement is non-negotiable, how you meet it doesn’t have to be complicated.

DSC Makes DQM Easy

With DSC’s advanced PLC-based control systems, there’s no need for extra hardware or dedicated computers. Our system handles the entire process—automatically transmitting the required data directly to the Corps.

• DSC’s PLC sends all required parameters without the need for external components. That means less complexity and more reliability.
• Already using systems like Hypack, DSC Vision, or Trimble Marine? Great. The system integrates effortlessly with them—or works independently by communicating directly with GPS devices.
• View live DQM transmissions, monitor your dredging parameters, and generate automated reports—customizable to your needs.

What Kind of Data is Transmitted?

DSC Control Systems can transmit a wide range of required dredging data, including:

• Cutterhead Position: Latitude, Longitude, and Depth

• Pump Efficiency, Slurry Density, Discharge

• System Time, Heading, Velocity, Vacuum, and more

All of this can be sent directly to the Corps—no extra steps, no extra stress.

Introducing DredgeRX: Real-Time Insights + Reporting Power

DredgeRX brings even more value to the table. Not only does it provide a live feed of the data being transmitted, but it also offers:

• Automated Daily Reports: Choose the days and data you want reported.

• Custom Parameters: Include information beyond the DQM requirement for deeper operational insight.

• Full Historical Access: Monitor your performance over time and identify trends effortlessly

Stay DQM-Ready with DSC

With DSC’s DQM-compatible control systems, you can focus on the job—not the data. DSC tools are designed to simplify your workflow while ensuring full compliance with Corps of Engineers requirements.
