Project types

When thinking about dredging, eye-catching developments such as the construction of the Suez Canal and Palm Island in Dubai come to mind. These projects have shown the enormous possibilities and potential that dredging has to offer. The Suez Canal meant a shorter shipping route between the East and Europe and has boosted the global economy. Palm Island is an example of how we are able to shape our own environment. Although great examples, these two projects only show a fraction of what dredging is about. Dredging has many applications, both large and small. Among the most common are:

Maintenance dredging

Maintenance dredging

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

Land reclamation

Land reclamation

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

Port construction

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

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

Coastal protection

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

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

Lakes and reservoirs dredging

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