For this project, their crews are working together through a collaboration with Van Oord:

  • TSHD Costa Atlántica, Dravo’s trailing suction hopper dredger, responsible for the excavation, transport and disposal of the dredged material,
  • WID Maas, Van Oord’s water injection dredger that uses low-pressure water jets to fluidize sediments and promote their natural relocation through existing currents.
