Dredging & reclamation

From lagoon
to land.

  1. 01
    Survey

    Bathymetry of the lagoon floor sets the design: dredge levels, bund line and finished level.

  2. 02
    Dredge & build

    The bed is levelled and a geobag-core breakwater is armoured in rock to +2.2 m to hold the fill.

  3. 03
    Pump

    The cutter suction dredger pumps sand through the pipeline into the cell behind the breakwater.

  4. 04
    Shape

    Fill is dozed to +1.8 m, compacted and handed over as buildable land.

Marine works.

Breakwaters, revetments and groynes: rock armour over geobag cores, built from barge and shore to the drawings.

Breakwaters & harbours

Twin rubble-mound arms shelter a dredged channel and basin, closed by a quay wall on the island side.

Channel & basin−3.5M
Revetments

Rock-armoured shore protection laid along the reclaimed edge, set out by chainage from the design.

Rock armour40 – 200KG
Groynes

Straight groynes run out across the beach contours to hold sand and stop the shoreline drifting.

Crest level+1.2M
Fishtail groynes

A trunk with two tails: it breaks the waves and holds the beach on both sides of the head.

Geobag core1T
Typical section · groyne trunk

One-tonne geobags stacked as a pyramid core in a dredged trench, armoured in rock to a top level of +1.2 m.

Maintained and crewed. Land, sea and seabed, mobilised from Thilafushi to any atoll.
