Rohde Nielsen completes maintenance dredging at Costa da Caparica

Rohde Nielsen has completed maintenance dredging and coastal protection works at Costa da Caparica, Portugal.

Under the project, approximately 1,000,000 m³ of sand was dredged from the entrance channel to the Port of Lisbon and beneficially reused to strengthen coastal protection and mitigate erosion along 4 km of coastline at Costa da Caparica and São João da Caparica.

Executed by Njord R, Thor R, Brage R, Idun R and Rimfaxe R, the project marks another successful coastal protection campaign for Agência Portuguesa do Ambiente, the Danish company said.
