The partnership undertakes
feasibility studies for any project where the main requirement
is dredging or dredging related. These include: |
- Forms of contract, charter, measured, or Term
depth.
- Beach recharge and offshore shoal formation.
- Canal restoration.
- Contract dredging versus Direct Labour.
- Creation of lakes.
- Creation of marinas.
- Deepening of berths and docks.
- Deepening, or widening of navigation channels.
- Improvements to recreational fishing waters.
|
- Land reclamation and artificial islands.
- Maintenance of ports, harbours and marinas.
- Marine aggregate dredging and marine mining.
- Removal and relocation of contaminated sediments.
- Restoration of reservoirs, lakes and ponds.
- Trenching for sub-sea pipelines and long
sea outfalls.

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. When all information
is available we select the optimum methods for project progression,
estimate the time scale for execution, calculate a budget
cost,
assess the environmental impact and submit a draft report to the
client.
Following finalisation of the Clients requirements, we consult
with regulators and third parties to determine any special restrictions,
or requirements, that may be attached to licenses
and consents,
or required to minimise the risk of impact
on third parties. A
final report is then submitted.
If the outcome of the feasibility study is favourable, we can
prepare, award and supervise contracts for site investigations
and surveys, prepare contracts for the project execution and supervise
the works.
Many feasibility studies have been completed, ranging from lake
and marina clearance to the deepening, or widening of major shipping
channels and ports.
In many cases we have progressed the project to final completion
and have achieved a 100% record of completion
within programme and budget.
