Studies
Feasibility Studies
In the preparation of a feasibility report, we first establish the Client objectives, assess local site conditions and determine whether or not additional information is required, such as bathymetric survey, ground investigation, or modelling.
Dredging
Maintenance Dredging
The strength of our maintenance dredging services are highlighted by the quantity of repeat costumers that we assist, as well as, the supervision both multi year and multi port regional contracts. Our aim for each client is to ensure that their objectives are achieved within programme and on budget.

Our Partnership can manage entire projects from inception to completion including the management of all contracts pertaining to the planning, pre-contract investigations, environmental and archaeological monitoring in addition to the main dredging contract.
