Abstract: With the rapid economic development of the eastern coastal provinces, large quantities of land are needed as constructions sites. Due to the limitations of the commercially available land, many engineering projects of near the sea tend to reclamation of the tidal marsh with soft soils with embankment encircled dredged materials. These embankments are usually marginally stable due to its poor soil properties. Large construction settlement and post construction settlement are expected. The construction monitoring is necessary in order to control the rate of dredge filling and the stability of the embankment.

Key words: Tidal Marsh, Embankments, Construction Monitoring, Geotechnical Instrumentation
