Dredging / Sandpumping
For this project, our crane barge M/V Gold Dredger was utilized. Prior to commencement of pumping, precast blocks will be placed on Fajtata beach with a separation between each block. The seperation between the blocks was essential in order to allow sea water to run through the gaps between each block whilst the sand remains in the beach. Once the blocks were positioned in place, a sand pump was used to suck up sand from the burrowing area and was directly moved to the Fajtata beach area. Sand was pumped to a distance of 200m. After Sammut Marine had pumped the required amount of sand, the temporary concrete blocks were removed and the area was demobilized.
