Dredging + Reclamation Engineering

Dredging and reclamation are fundamental processes for maintaining navigable waterways and expanding usable coastal land. Our comprehensive dredging engineering services encompass harbor deepening, navigation channel maintenance, and sedimentation studies. 

We ensure that these activities are conducted sustainably, minimizing environmental impact while achieving project goals. Reclamation projects, such as land creation and restoration, are designed with a focus on ecological balance and long-term viability.

Expertise

Harbor / Marina Deepening

Conducting harbor and marina deepening projects to improve navigation and access. Deepening projects ensure that ports and marinas can accommodate larger vessels, as well as maintain a calm and safe environment for moored and docked vessels.

Navigation Channel Maintenance

Maintaining navigation channels to ensure safe and efficient maritime traffic. Regular maintenance prevents the buildup of sediments that can hinder navigation.

Sedimentation Studies

Performing sedimentation studies to inform dredging and reclamation efforts. Understanding sediment dynamics is crucial for effective dredging and minimizing environmental impact.
