Dredging & Reclamation
We are trusted name in marine engineering and environmental transformation. Our Dredging and Reclamation division is dedicated to reshaping coastlines, reclaiming land, and enhancing aquatic environments through precision, innovation, and sustainable practices. We provide end-to-end solutions that support infrastructure development, shoreline protection, and environmental restoration across Nigeria and West Africa.
With a team of seasoned professionals and state-of-the-art equipment, we deliver projects that meet international standards while adapting to local terrain and ecological needs. Whether for commercial ports, residential waterfronts, or industrial zones, our dredging and reclamation services are designed to unlock new possibilities and ensure long-term stability.
Our Capabilities
- Hydrographical Survey (Eco Sounding)
We begin every project with a detailed hydrographical survey using eco-sounding technology. This process maps underwater topography, sediment layers, and water depths, providing critical data for safe navigation, dredging design, and environmental impact assessments.
- Pre and Post Dredging Survey
Accurate measurement is key to successful dredging. Our pre-dredging surveys establish baseline conditions, while post-dredging surveys confirm that target depths and volumes have been achieved. These surveys ensure compliance, efficiency, and transparency throughout the project lifecycle.
- Dredging Operations
We perform capital and maintenance dredging using cutter suction, grab, and hydraulic dredgers. Our operations remove silt, sand, and debris from riverbeds, lagoons, and coastal zones to improve water flow, deepen channels, and prepare sites for reclamation or construction.
- Land Reclamation
Our reclamation services transform submerged or low-lying areas into usable land for residential, commercial, or industrial development. We use engineered fill materials and compaction techniques to ensure stability, drainage, and load-bearing capacity.
- Sand Filling and Spreading
We provide large-scale sand filling for site elevation, shoreline reinforcement, and land preparation. Our team ensures uniform distribution and compaction to meet engineering specifications and prevent erosion or settlement.
- Soil Compaction
Proper compaction is essential for reclaimed land. We use vibratory rollers, plate compactors, and dynamic compaction methods to achieve optimal density and structural integrity, making the land suitable for construction and long-term use.
- Shoreline Protection
Coastal erosion is a growing threat. We implement shoreline protection systems such as revetments, groynes, and geotextile barriers to stabilize banks, prevent land loss, and safeguard infrastructure. Our solutions are tailored to each site’s hydrodynamic conditions and environmental sensitivity.
Applications
- Port and harbor development
- Waterfront residential and commercial projects
- Industrial site preparation
- Flood control and drainage improvement
- Environmental restoration and wetland recovery
Environmental Commitment
We recognize the ecological impact of dredging and reclamation. That’s why we adhere to strict environmental guidelines and collaborate with regulatory bodies to minimize disruption to aquatic life and habitats. Our eco-sounding surveys and sediment analysis help us plan operations that are both effective and environmentally responsible.
