VIDEO: Hall Contracting removes sediment from Ba River

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.
