CSD Arnhem begins Pumicestone dredging

As part of the Bribie Island Emergency Works, Hall Contracting team is currently kicking off channel deepening works in Pumicestone Passage.

Cutter suction dredge (CSD) Arnhem is relocating to the channel linking the northern end of Pumicestone Passage with Breakthrough #1, where dredging will focus on deepening the channel to improve navigability and enhance water circulation and water quality.

According to Hall, these operations will enable the Caloundra Coast Guard to return to their headquarters at Bulcock Beach, strengthening maritime emergency response and rescue capability.

The works are expected to last around 8 weeks.
