Jan De Nul completes Port Hedland dredging

摘要

Jan De Nul Group completes the capital dredging works for the Channel Risk and Optimization Project (CROP) in Port Hedland, Western Australia, and can look back on a successful three-year cooperation with the Pilbara Ports Authority (PPA). Over the past three years a combination of Hopper Dredge, a Cutter Suction ( CS ) dredge and Split Hopper ( H ) barges were deployed to dredge sections of the 42-km long navigational channel and to further enhance the safe and sustainable access to the port of Port Hedland. The project, part of the Channel Risk and Optimization Project (CROP), included the removal of high spots and the creation of two refuge zones and an emergency passing lane alongside the outer section of the shipping channel.
