With the township of Ba in Fiji experiencing an average of one major flood every four years, Fiji’s Ministry of Agriculture and Waterways engaged Hall Contracting to remove sediment build-up from the Ba River, improving its ability to discharge excess water during rain and storm events.
Hall was tasked with dredging more than 300,000m3 of silt, sand and gravel from a 3.6km stretch of the river.
The cutter suction dredger (CSD) Kikilu conducted the works, dredging the river to a depth of around three meters below mean sea level.
