Coastal restoration projects help restore shorelines affected by erosion. Sand can be added to eroded beaches and coastal areas to rebuild the shoreline. Land reclamation involves creating or expanding land by placing suitable materials, including dredged sediment.
ECTMarine designs and supplies dredgers and dredging equipment for these applications. The choice of dredging method depends on sediment characteristics, site conditions and specific project requirements.
Coastal restoration and land reclamation projects require dredging equipment suited to the material being excavated and transported.
Cutter suction dredgers use a rotating cutter head to loosen bottom material before pumping it through a pipeline to a discharge or reclamation area.
Trailing suction hopper dredgers collect sediment from the seabed and store it in an onboard hopper for transport. For loose, free flowing sediment, plain suction dredgers may also be considered.
ECTMarine offers standard and customized cutter suction dredgers, as well as design, equipment and complete vessel solutions for trailing suction hopper dredgers.
