Project types

Every dredging project starts with specific requirements, depending on the type of project. Maintenance dredging, land reclamation or port construction are all different types of projects.

Maintenance dredging

The constant flow of water and sediment results in a continuous need for maintenance dredging.

Land reclamation

Land reclamation projects are aimed at creating new land for industrial or residential use.

Port construction

Ports act as the gateway to global trade and are therefore a vital part of any country with access to the seas.

Environmental dredging

Environmental dredging targets polluted materials in sections of ports and rivers, often within industrial areas.

Coastal protection

Coastal protection is an essential process to provide a defence against flooding and the erosion of land caused by waves, tides, currents and wind.

Sand and gravel dredging

Marine aggregates are widely used in the construction industry. One of the ways to extract this valuable resource is via dredging.

Lakes and reservoirs dredging

Sediment accumulation in lakes and reservoirs reduces the storage capacity of either. Dredging can be a solution.
