BREAKING NEWS: DEME completes Port of Brest dredging

DEME has successfully completed dredging works in the Port of Brest, France.

For this project, the company mobilised its trailing suction hopper dredger (TSHD) Scheldt River and the cutter suction dredger (CSD) Ganga to tackle 1 million m³ of soft sediments.

The project’s primary objective was to deepen the access channel and berths of the newly constructed quay wall, which will play a role in accommodating the growing number of renewable energy projects in the region.

“We took an eco-conscious approach throughout the project by reusing all the dredged material to create a new polder that is under final completion,” said DEME.

According to the company, the 10-ha polder will serve as a handling and storage area for the port’s ongoing development.
