Restarting Reclamation: Two Solutions to Asia’s Sand Shortage

You are undoubtedly aware that the sand shortage in Singapore and throughout Asia is the #1 challenge facing the industry. Dredging & Land Reclamation Asia 2011 is uniquely positioned to directly confront this problem.

Here are 2 Solutions:

  • Find New Sources of Sand

Theo Berkhout, the Senior Engineering Geologist at Royal Boskalis Westminster, travels the world exploring for usable marine sand. He will present on his observations.

  • Utilize New Technologies that Make Toxic Dredge Materials Safe

The Building and Construction Authority of Singapore along with NewEarth will discuss a joint R&D project on dredged material applications.

Johan-Paul Smith, who is traveling all the way from Europe on behalf of DHV, will discuss implementation plans for reusing toxic dredge materials and building it safely into new land. After the conference he will present a masterclass discussing the full cycle of the reclamation process.

If this still hasn’t convinced you, below are the snapshot of some other speakers have to say about this topic:

Meanwhile, Dr. Lucien Halleux, Managing Director at G-Tec, gave a thought provoking presentation at last year's Dredging & Land Reclamation Asia, where he touched on the driving forces of rock dredging innovation and the innovation of rock dredging equipments.

In this complimentary presentation, Lucien elaborates on the selection of equipment and explains why it must be based on realistic production estimates.
