The water injection dredging works have concluded in Maryport Harbour and Marina, Anthony D Bates Partnership (ADBP) said.
“The plant was provided by Van Oord and undertaken on a charter contract, supervised onsite by ADBP consultant John Gunn,” said the company.
All works were completed on time and in budget.
Water injection dredging (WID) is a dredging technique that removes sediment ‘the natural way’.
It is an efficient and environmentally friendly way of maintaining the depth of navigation channels, ports and rivers.
A water injection dredger can work very close to embankments and quay walls because of the manoeuvrability of the vessel.
