Breakwaters, Dredging and Reclamation continued

Maritime related reclamation often takes place in areas with poor ground conditions using essential ground improvement measures.

Our team takes great care to minimise the cost of such improvements. Whether your situation calls for a breakwater, dredging or reclamation, an initial site visit is usually undertaken where we gain an understanding of the results you are seeking.

The Royal Haskoning team brings you substantial knowledge and experience through each stage of subsequent projects.

Dredging and Reclamation

Dredging is used for the creation of new channels, or to deepen existing ones, as well as port basins, turning circles and trenches for tunnels and pipelines.

The planning and design of such works is based on location specific conditions, such as soil, rock, depth, wind, waves, currents and the logistics of mobilisation and labour.

The dredged material can often be used for reclamation purposes, or more suitable material can be dredged from an offshore supply area.
